The fourth edition of BYH Exhibition will also be a platform to provide students with real industry experience. The annual Junior Interior Design Competition, in collaboration with VCUarts Qatar, BYH’s educational competition partner – has enjoyed four years of nurturing Qatar’s future design talent. Three shortlisted competition winners, chosen by a jury from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) MEA and Eng. Maram Al Zghoul, will be announced at Build Your House Exhibition during day 2, May 16, and be awarded prizes and showcase their designs at the VCUarts Qatar booth.
Each year, VCUarts Qatar’s Junior Interior Design competition challenges students to work on a design brief to suit a particular home user’s needs.
Liam Colquhoun, Associate Professor of Interior Design Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar, said: “Residential design is a booming sector in Qatar as well as an integral element of the VCUarts Qatar Interior Design curriculum. It is an area of design that forces students to consider the importance of user customization, site analysis and precedents. This particular sophomore-level project, developed with assistance from our partners at Msheireb Properties, asked students to develop a Live-Work hybrid space that combines a home for two distinct users to live in and work from. It is also a pleasure to continue our collaboration with Nextfairs, whose support allows the work of our students to be disseminated to a wide audience of industry professionals at the Build Your House 2023 Expo. Collaborative partnerships with prominent stakeholders like Msheireb Properties and Nextfairs enrich the VCUarts Qatar interior design program and elevate the work of our student body.”
Build Your House Exhibition 2023 is an educational and insightful event for visitors and a not-to-be-missed opportunity for exhibitors seeking access to a primed niche market.
The event enables Qatari housebuilders to understand the processes they must undertake to complete their home build – including vital government registration and access to housing loans. Build Your House Exhibition 2023 – BYH 2023 will take place from May 15 to 18, 2023 at QNCC and open to the public from 10am to 10pm.
