Just in its 3rd year, the Chicago-based Mock Firms International Skyscraper Challenge is already highly regarded on the landscape of student-based design competitions. The Mock Firms model aims to help facilitate the formation and function of simulated architectural design firms by collegiate and secondary school students. The purpose is to challenge them to conceive, coordinate, construct and even commercialize a skyscraper project for Stockholm, Sweden (collegiate) and for Los Angeles, Calif. (high school) which will be interactively judged by industry professionals against a field of the peers. The result will be the awarding of top student-firm honors as well as a designated prize amount. For more information and registration please visit www.mockfirms.org
