Three architectural students from Notre Dame University were recently awarded prizes for their concepts of a proposed art center for South Bend, Indiana.
The art center was the subject of the student architectural competition sponsored by the Chicago Cut Contractors Association.
The competition is conducted annually by the Association in connection with a particular school of architecture. This year, entries were submitted by 19 students in their 4th and 5th years at Notre Dame. An unusual pre-requisite was that the students were required to select an actual site in or near the urban area of South Bend.
Awarded first place ratings and $200 each were: Thomas William McHugh, son of Dr. and Mrs. James V. McHugh of Leominister, Mass., and Dennis Martin Donahue, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Donahue of East Hartford, Connecticut. The second place rating and $100 went to Michael James DeBartolo, son of Mr. and Mrs. James T. DeBartolo, Poland, Ohio. The three winners are all in their 4th year.
The panel of judges consisted of members of the Chicago Chapter AIA, the Notre Dame faculty and Hugo M. Reich, President of the Chicago Cut Stone Contractors Association.
Members of the Chicago Chapter who served as judges were: Richard Bennett, Loebl, Schlossman and Bennett: Stanley Tigerman, Tigerman & Koglin: Benjamin Weese, Harry Weese & Associates; William Bachman. Bachman & Bertram, and Thomas E. Cooke, who heads his own firm.
Professor Frank Montana, Head of the Notre Dame Department of Architecture, and Bob Shultz, Professor of Architecture, represented the University.
"Judging this competition was difficult," said Mr. Bachman, "because we had to evaluate the entries not only for the design of the building, but also by the site of the building occupied and how it was integrated on the site."
