Gorontalo (ANTARA) \u2013 Two students from the Faculty of Engineering at\nGorontalo State University (UNG) have received an international award\nfor an adaptive post-disaster housing design in a global\ncompetition.<\/p>\n
Professor Mohamad Amir Arham, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and\nAlumni, said in Gorontalo on Tuesday that he was proud of the\nachievement by Muhammad Ikhsan, from the Building Architecture diploma\nprogramme, and Risky Husain, from the undergraduate Architecture\nprogramme.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir idea for adaptive and sustainable post-disaster housing has\nenabled them to take their work to the international design stage,\u201d Amir\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The pair won the award with their work, entitled KALA-REKA, in the\nArchitecture & Landscape Design category of the 2026 Taiwan\nInternational Student Design Competition (TISDC).<\/p>\n
TISDC is an international student design competition supported by the\nWorld Design Organization (WDO).<\/p>\n
The international achievement was also the result of an ongoing\nprocess of developing their work.<\/p>\n
Amir said their success showed that students from the UNG Faculty of\nEngineering\u2019s Architecture programme could address disaster risks and\nsustainability through design ideas relevant to global challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cKALA-REKA\u2019s success in reaching the ranks of the winners is a source\nof pride. It shows that UNG students\u2019 work can compete with other\ninnovative designs internationally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
UNG Faculty of Engineering Dean Professor Sardi Salim said the\nachievement demonstrated the importance of integrating academic work,\nmentoring and student participation in competitions.<\/p>\n
The pair\u2019s achievement is expected to inspire other UNG students,\nparticularly those in the Faculty of Engineering, to continue developing\ninnovative ideas and to have the confidence to take their work to\nnational and international stages.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ung-students-design-adaptive-post-disaster-housing-for-global-competition-1792471938", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
