Architecture program featured in international magazine’s virtual design festival

Riverside, Calif. (July 9, 2021) – Academic work by students in the architecture program at California Baptist University was showcased in the Dezeen Virtual Design Festival on July 2. Ten designs by CBU students were featured in the online architecture and design magazine based in London.

“Being featured doubles as a celebration of great work from our school as well as international visibility,” said Keelan Kaiser, architecture program director in the College of Architecture, Visual Arts and Design.

The magazine invited academic architecture programs to participate in the festival. Kaiser asked CBU faculty to choose the most creative and distinctive works from their design classes this past academic year. The final 10 designs represent a range of work from first- through fifth-year students in the program.

Many of the designs seek to serve the public good, Kaiser said, citing examples including an urban agriculture development, a healthcare clinic, and spaces for worship.
