Taubman College 2017 Architecture Student Show Recognizes Outstanding Student Work
The Annual Student Show is an exhibition held in the spring that features faculty-selected projects representing the best work from the fall semester. Taubman College is fortunate to have the support and partnership of both the local professional community as well as engagement of alumni from across the country. Each year representatives of these groups generously spend time reviewing work exhibited in the annual student show and recognize the best work with awards. This year’s student show was held March 26-April 1, 2017, and was organized by assistant professor of architecture, Ellie Abrons..
