CHICAGO – The Kennesaw State University team of Ashely Borgman, Ines Konji, and Asma Nadir was the overall winner of the PCI Spring 2026 Design Precast competition. Their winning design, the Folded Frame contemporary art museum, embraces the site’s artistic and industrial identity by exploring how precast concrete can serve as an efficient building system and an expressive architectural language that shapes light, atmosphere, and human experience. In PCI Design Precast, teams of two or three students present their designs in the form of elevations and 3-D BIM modeling.
