In the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado Denver, students and faculty engage directly with our vibrant city, dynamic community, and magnificent landscape by working on real projects that make a real difference.
Kevin MillerThis prototype home is designed for a multi-generational farming family that lives on the Pine Ridge Reservation and who are re-envisioning how they want to make a living, literally and figuratively. The primary goals of the family are to reinvent their farm by growing and processing industrial hemp.
Iman AmeryThe Oglala Lakota people strongly value their culture. Their culture encompasses large gatherings, valuing their elders, and their traditions. This project creates a space for elders and youth to directly come together to learn traditional crafts and stories from each other in a hands-on environment so that art and culture can be passed along.
Ben JaworskiThis house is designed for a single family that will live amongst the surrounding environment and be off-grid. The concept of this project is to be easily buildable, self-sustaining, supporting family interactions, and eco-friendly. A rooftop solar array will provide power to the entire house and ADU.
Maslin Mellick & Olivia CollierThis project envisions a facility for removing, devulcanizing and repurposing the rubber from the world's largest discarded tire monofill (north of Denver) into a new building material.
