Learn more about this year’s speakers:

Ann Dang, Environmental Design 2021 Young Designer Award recipient, received her Environmental Design degree in 2019. During her time at ENVD, she was involved in the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), Student American Society of Landscape Architects (SASLA), Designers without Boundaries (DWB) and the Peer Mentorship program. Additionally, she joined the Spatial Justice Design Collective (SJDC) to produce exhibits and creative works tackling race and gender inequities in architecture.

After graduation, Ann worked full time at LOA Architecture and was more involved in SJDC where she became aware of the lack of diversity in architecture. The scarcity of minorities in architecture affirmed her ambition to start her own architecture firm in the future and become an advocate for social equity within the design industry.

Ann received a full-ride Sam Fox Ambassadors fellowship to pursue her master’s degree in architecture at Washington University in St. Louis but has decided to take a break from graduate school to prioritize her mental health and wellbeing. Currently, she is working full time at Arcturis, a multi-disciplinary design firm that is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise. Outside of work, she is a part of the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (J.E.D.I) committee for AIA St. Louis. The J.E.D.I committee provides programming, training, volunteer and community engagement opportunities to increase diversity and equity within the architecture field.

Adam Harding, Environmental Design 2021 Distinguished Alum, is a prolific architect with a reputation for story-driven design. A leader of both his firm and his community, Adam has served his clients, the public and the profession of architecture. His work is transcendent; guiding his clients every step of the way. He creates meaningful design in the residential, commercial, municipal and hospitality market sectors in Colorado and across the country.

Adam joined Roth Sheppard Architects upon graduation from the �� with a Bachelor of Environmental Design in 2004 and now, 18 years later, he is a second-generation firm owner. As a Partner and the design visionary of his firm, he has led his firm through a cultural transformation; clearly defining its mission, goals and core values that foster professional development, individual growth and a commitment to design excellence.

Adam and his firm have been recognized with design and honor awards at a local, regional, and national level. In 2021, Adam received a National Young Architect of the Year Award from the American Institute of Architects and Roth Sheppard Architects was named AIA Colorado’s Firm of the Year.

2019 Environmental Design Open House Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 05/16/2019 - 11:55

On May 2, 2019, Environmental Design held its first spring open house event. As an end-of-the-year celebration, the evening kicked off with a program partners cocktail hour, introducing new and upcoming happenings for the upcoming academic year. This year Environmental Design has adapted a new core curriculum, which will include 8-week studios, more technology courses, as well as more advanced design studios and an opportunity to build individual learning paths.

The evening also introduced building renovations to both the main Environmental Design building and the Creative Labs Center located in the Center for Innovation and Creativity building. Renovations will include a new gallery, entrance and lobby development and new student-friendly gathering spaces on the third floor. A new maker space will also be added to the already established Digital Media Center to assist students in learning the technical skills needed for constructing models in the main building.

Following the cocktail hour, Environmental Design opened its doors to the campus and community beyond. Students were stationed by their work so that guests could engage and learn more about the exhibited projects. Student-designed work ranging from architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and product design was scattered throughout three floors, creating an interactive and engaging experience.

Amongst the exhibited work included a People’s Choice award display, which allowed students, guests, faculty and staff the opportunity to vote for designs in the categories of year-of-study–freshman, sophomore, junior and senior.

The People’s Choice winners were announced at the student social, hosted at the Rayback Collective, the evening’s final event. This portion of the night was planned by the student body.

The night’s winners included freshman winner Nettie Skievaski with Assemblage design, sophomore winner Alyssa Brunner with Clyfford Still Synthesis Model design, Junior winner Miles Shapleigh with Pike's Peak or Bust design and senior winners Abraham Proffitt and Alex Haefling with Boulder’s child-friendly map design.
