The winning entry, front, is a homeless shelter which allows accessible materials such as newspaper to be utilized in pockets designed to hold insulation. The student designer, architecture freshman Emily Turner of Starkville, received a $500 scholarship for her sustainability solution utilizing a foil laminate material that is a manufacturing byproduct at Southwire, which sponsored the competition.
