Join members of the Michael G. Meyers Competition Committee for a walking tour of the 2025 project site and surrounding neighborhood. This is a great opportunity for students to understand and see the selected site and earn about the neighborhood’s history and architecture.
The tour will start with a tour of 1550 on the Green, part of a three-block master plan by Skanska, designed by world-renowned architect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The 28-story, 375,00-sf tower is BIG’s first office project in Texas to achieve LEED Platinum certification. The tour will continue through downtown and to the project site.
An annual ideas competition with an emphasis on creative problem solving and graphic presentation, the Michael G. Meyers Design & Scholarship Competition is sponsored by the Architecture Center Houston Foundation, the Houston Chapter of AIA and local architectural firms and affiliates. The Competition Committee hosts a series of events to help the students learn basic architectural design skills and understand the competition requirements. Projects are due in April and the winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at Architecture Center Houston. All Houston area high school students are eligible to participate regardless of class affiliation or age. Students are requested to enter only once per year as either a member of a team or as an individual. Teachers and Counselors are encouraged to promote this scholarship competition.
