PAGE 12 - WATERLOO CHRONICLE. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 26. 71986 A team of architecture students from the University of Waterloo has won the "R-2000 Student Design Challenge.? - _ ' In addition, another of the three teams Waterloo was allowed to enter was awarded an honorable mention in the Ontario-wide design contest. The contest is a first-time venture an- nounced by then Energy Minister George Ashe on May 10. The current minister, Vincent Kerrie, announced the winners in Toronto today. The contest is co-sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Fiberglass Canada and Select Homes Magazine. "The new competition, the first of it's kind in Canada, encourages our budding architects to put into practice the latest innovations in the design and construction of low-energy housing," Ashe said when the contest was announced. "This is critical, since home heating bills currently consume some $2 billion a year in Ontario alone." The winning team is made up of Montgom- ery King, Filippo Scarpazza and Wen Xiu, a visiting assistant professor to the course from the People's Republic of China who is studying at Waterloo for a one-year period. For the win, the school receives $10,000 to be 'used as bursaries by the school of architecture. (Second receives $5,000, with $1,000 to five honorable mentions, and $500 for up to four citations.) Peter Cizak, Andrew Jack and Elizabeth Ohi were the uw students who won Ontario Energy Minister Vincent Kerrio (centre) examines a model of the top-winning design for an energy-efficient home with R-20OO competition winners, UW architecture students Montgomery King (left) and Filippo Scarpazza.

Wrtt Centre) WATERLOO'S ONLY FUTON MANUFACTURER PRESENTS an honorable mention. About 450 students from architecture schools at universities and colleges across Ontario took part. UW entered three teams in the contest, the maximum allowed. Faculty advisor, Prof. Joseph Somfay, who is the architect for many solar-heated, en- ergy-efficient homes and buildings in Ontario, and who is the students' teacher in a course on energy and buildings called Architecture MI, expressed elation at the win and the honorable mention by the other group of UW students. "Naturally, we're tremendously gratified and pleased that all the hard work they put in bore fruit," Somfay said. "Actually, when I heard about this 11-2000 challenge program I thought it would be an ideal vehicle for teaching the course since we were going 'to concentrate on residential design anyway, plus the utilization of nature, insulation techniques and energy conversion in design." "Not only are we pleased that one of our teams won, we're delighted another received honor- able mention. And frankly, if it hadn't been for the fact that our third team ran out of time, their submission would have stood a good chance at a prize as well." In addition to the $10,000 first-place prize which goes to the school of architecture, Select Homes, a major home design company, will provide a four-month apprenticeship for two UW students, at the company's head office in “Natural Sleep Centre" '33900 ' .. v - combines the strength ot hard- - - A, wood meme with the durability and - beauty ot arborite. . - converts from a fun length couch into a standard double bed in a matter of seconds. - availabIe in black, white or grey - fully guaranteed - inexpensive. rrghtweight and transportable Mom-Thurs.
