Hines College senior interior architecture student, Lene Fourie, has been named a top interior design student in the METROPOLIS Future100 list. She collaborated with associate professor Marta Rodriguez on two projects —Fan House and Habitable Curtains — challenging notions of space, fostering environments that evolve with human needs.

At the beginning of March, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Fort Worth Design Awards celebration honored Hines College students for their outstanding projects in the 2024 AIAFW Student Design Awards. This year’s class of winners not only continued a tradition of winning high praise from the AIAFW Student Design Awards for the fourth year in a row, but they also took home three out of the four top prizes.

Hines College alum Paul Molina (B.S. ’19) has set out to explore a design project combining his education in interior architecture and scenic design (Carnegie Mellon MFA ’24). The Fulbright U.S. Student Program selected Molina’s proposal, Rasquachismo: Revealing Cultural Memories of the Mexican Home as a Form of Resilience, to shine a light on this displacement through a unique design project.
