What is SUPERJury
SUPERjury is a day-long review and celebration of the most provocative undergraduate and graduate projects in the school. With projects nominated for consideration by both students and faculty, the goal of SUPERjury is to foster self-reflection and stimulate a conversation about the state of architecture within the school and also how our work relates to contemporary issues in practice and the world. Students who are selected to participate in the review are recognized with honors and cash prizes. It’s a very significant event for the School of Architecture & Urban Planning.

Sunil Bald
Maya Przybylski
Maya combines her backgrounds to explore how the increased availability of data and the emergence of computational design transforms the theoretical frameworks, methodologies, tools and outcomes of the architect. In 2018 she was awarded a multi-year grant from Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) for her Soft Materials project to develop architecture-specific methods for achieving more complete engagement with both the sociocultural agency and technical capacity of the computational components embedded within data-driven design work. With the goal of bridging technological and sociocultural concerns, this work has been presented in a variety of venues including technically focused venues such as ACADIA and CAADRIA alongside socially-minded venues such as Architecture Media Politics & Society(A_MPS) and the Architectural Humanities Research Association. Maya’s design work brings together software, data, hardware and physical materiality to explore citizen-oriented visions of a software/data enabled city.
Maya is a founding editor of [bracket] (Actar), a series that, since 2010, has documented the intersection of architecture, environment and digital culture. She has co-edited two issues: Bracket 1 [On Farming] and Bracket 3 [At Extremes], both supported by the Graham Foundation for the Arts.
Nader Tehrani
Throughout his career, Tehrani has received eighteen Progressive Architecture Awards as well as numerous AIA, BSA and ID awards. Over the past six years, NADAAA has consistently ranked as a top design firm in Architect Magazine’s Top 50 U.S. Firms List. He served as the Frank O. Gehry International Visiting Chair in Architectural Design at the University of Toronto and is currently the inaugural Paul Helmle Fellow at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. He also recently served as the William A. Bernoudy Architect in Residence at the American Academy in Rome.
This event is cosponsored with the American Institute of Architecture Students at UWM.
