ReEntry: Transitioning Foster Children to Adulthoodby John Doe #1 — Winner of Fellowship Competition
 | Build up, not out. Setting aside two-thirds of the property for parking fulfilled both the programmatic requirement and a desire to create a small building footprint. The long thin building mass increases urban density, saves valuable land assets, creates ample opportunities to bring in daylight, maximizes cross ventilation and reduces solar gain (the narrow face is oriented south). |

A New Directionby John Doe #5 — Finalist
 | This project uses an integrated sun-shading device as a metaphor for a new direction. Looking at directional cues of the traffic flow in this small, urban environment, the sweeping sun-shade conjures images of the inhabitants turning a corner in a new life path.
This as well as other environmental systems are made manifest as a way of expressing the
importance of sustainability to a new future. |

Shifted Horizonsby John Doe #9 — Finalist
 | As newly independent foster graduates going through a shift in lifestyle and outlook these young adults are in a phase of fusing new horizons for themselves. This project focused on the shifting social networks and responsibilites of this group and sought to provide a set of spaces which would support them and foster learning in all aspects, through organized courses, informal social spaces, shared responsibilites in the garden, and encouraging commmunal involvment, both within the ReEntry Center and beyond. |

Southern Exposureby John Doe #10 — Finalist
 | In the future, centralized urban town centers will become vital to the sustainability of small towns. Considering the context of the site, it is evident that the housing for emancipated young adults could be a model for urban density in small towns. This strategy might act as a catalyst for future development around the town center of Corvallis. The design goal is to maximize openspace while maintaining an urban street edge. |
