2019 Competition
A Sanctuary
Channeling the spirit of its east coast
counterpart, this competition presents the
opportunity to propose a welcoming place of
sanctuary in the form of a new arrival center on
Angel Island for new immigrants as well as a
place of reflection for past immigrants and the
communities within which they now live.

ExperiencesHere it is more about the journey than the destination. The winding path that meanders along a few hundred-foot-tall sea cliffs instilled sublime feelings as I headed toward the temple.

ExperiencesThe opportunity to travel and deeply explore my interests in architecture and design was an incredible one. Participating in the competition and all the future work that has been an incredible experience that has further fueled my desire to improve my skill-set and design better spaces. I am very grateful and feel very privileged to have had this incredible experience. Thank you to my mentor and the people at the Lyceum foundation who organize this competition every year for making all this possible
