For this year's architectural design competition, the following high school teams will work on two related projects: a future public library and a new architectural design studio.  For the first project, the design challenge is develop a comprehensive document which outlines the definition and design concepts for a future public library.  This "Program Document" will define the needs and goals of the City of Porterville and provide the details of the spaces required for this future public library facility.

The teams will also work with the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, collaborating with Professor Thomas Fowler and his 3rd year Architecture students to design a new Architecture Studio for the existing Architecture Building at Cal Poly.  This new studio shall become a space that promotes creativity and collaboration, allowing students to develop and craft their design thinking skills to generate ideas and solutions through hands-on project-based learning.  This new design studio shall set a precedence for the types of maker space laboratories that can be used in the new public library.

"I have been surrounded by the idea of what it means to build and construct things to work.  Architecture became one of my passions and I have learned to see a building as a way to affect people rather than to accommodate.  MANGINI has exposed me to a way of camaraderie and leadership that I will take to college and my future."
