2026 MGMC Site Visit

Join members of the Michael G. Meyers Competition Committee for a walking tour of the 2026 project site and the surrounding neighborhood. This is a great opportunity for students to see the selected site and learn about the neighborhood’s history and architecture.

The tour will start at Guadalupe Plaza Park, continue through East End, and end at the project site along Buffalo Bayou. We will also have representatives from the East End District to welcome our group and provide information about the community. One of these representatives will serve as a judge for our competition.

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 the 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.
