UB architecture students Alireza Borhani and Ada Rodriguez received the Emerging Interior Designer of the Year award at this year’s Paris Design Awards for “The Inhabitable Edge,” the final project they designed for Next-Gen Architect, a graduate studio in the School of Architecture and Planning led by adjunct instructor Randy Fernando. Instead of separating interior from exterior or architecture from furniture, “The Inhabitable Edge” proposes a continuous spatial system where human presence becomes the force that transforms architecture itself.
