B5 Architecture student Tanner Allred was awarded third place for his entry titled, “A New Paradigm in Urban Agriculture,” in Kingspan’s GenK competition. Short for Generation Kingspan, GenK is a student architectural design competition created and sponsored by Kingspan Insulated Panels. Each year GenK’s focus features a flagship Kingspan product. For GenK 2014, design students were tasked with concentrating on KarrierPanel™ Barrier Wall Systems and KingZip™ Roofing Panels. The project entries had to demonstrate how these insulated metal panels (IMPs) can be integrated into the design of an urban mixed-use building. Because green building and sustainable design are a big part of Kingspan’s vision and commitment, entrants were challenged to propose high performance building envelope solutions that rely on the performance characteristics of a variety of insulated metal panel types.
