John P. Eberhard Student Design Competition
We proudly present the top projects that illustrate how architecture can significantly impact human experiences.
The Eberhard Student Design Competition, named after an ANFA founder, invited students worldwide to design a community center inspired by ANFA’s headquarters at the Salk Institute campus designed by Louis Kahn in La Jolla, California, USA.
The goal was to connect neuroscience and architecture, encouraging designs that improve quality of life.
