The Architectural Association School of Architecture announced its AA|FAB award winners this time last month. One of the winners was from our own University of Houston Gerald D. Hines School of Architecture and to boot one of the students who participated in the first place win for Ceiling Cloud is our summer intern, Fabian Vargas.
