The Department of Architecture, GSTU is proud to share a remarkable achievement of our students in an international architectural design competition organized by Claymire.
The project, titled “Sole & Soul of the City”, was developed based on the concept “Whispers of the City.” The design explored a compact yet meaningful living environment for a shoemaker within a 10-meter cube space, while also incorporating a tea stall to encourage public engagement, social interaction, and community connection.
Claymire encourages participants to transform raw concepts into meaningful and impactful designs. The competition brought together more than 1000 participants from over 30 countries around the world. We are delighted to announce that our students’ project has been shortlisted among the Top 30 entries.
The department extends its heartfelt congratulations to the participating students and wishes them continued success in their future academic and professional endeavors.
