The Winner Is...

S1 E2: As the semester continues the students refine their schemes and create an impressive array of drawings, physical models and computer images to illustrate their designs. Byron encourages Amarit to push his concept further; meanwhile, Carter says "everyone's mentality into this should be 'I want to win'" and decides to stick with his audacious but potentially unrealizable prototype; Chris surprises Byron with a design that harkens back to a 1920s pioneer; and Adriana pursues her concept of an S-shaped building. Just as some of the students appear to be doing well, guest critics review the designs and their comments change the playing field. The Final Review is intense, and the front runner's scheme is ripped apart. Two of the others students emerge from behind and wow the critics with their presentations, finishing in a dead heat. The students cast their votes for the best design.
