For the second year in a row, a team of UO architecture students, led by Architecture Professor Ihab Elzeyadi, has won two international 2021 Solar Decathlon Design Competition awards: the First-Place Gold Trophy in the Elementary School Division and the Grand Jury Award across all commercial divisions of the competition.

This year's winners, Team Riparian, were part of “High Performance Environments,” a studio taught by Elzeyadi since 2007. In this presentation, the team will describe how they used architecture and net zero resources as tools for influencing social equity in the underrepresented communities of Portland, Oregon’s King District.
