The Vital Signs Case Study Competition challenges architecture students to take a detective’s eye to the built environment; to investigate, measure, and report on the physical performance of existing buildings in terms of energy use, occupant well-being, and architectural space-making

Students who accept this challenge must perform a building field-investigation and submit a report of their work to Vital Signs at the end of fall 1996. Submissions will be judged by a jury of architecture professionals and educators. They will award prizes for the best work.
