It was held for the first time as a Compete from Campus event, where students entered by submitting a video documenting the construction and testing of their steel bridge.
SUNY Canton students earned first place in the aesthetics category and second place in speed of construction; construction economy; and weight and efficiency. The college now is among 25 schools in the running for the national title, which will again be completed via a video entry and supplementary documentation due May 17.

The latest Forge Prize goes to an innovative concept for a 3D-printed pedestrian steel bridge by Hunter Ruthrauff of T.Y. Lin International Group in San Diego. Established by the American Institute of Steel Construction in 2018, the annual competition invites emerging architects to propose boundary-pushing steel structures.

Ruthrauff s winning bridge concept is conceived for a site in San Diego s Balboa Park, seeking to reflect the network of trails in Florida Canyon through its organic form. According to the designer, 3D-printed steel was chosen due to its better tensile strength than 3D-printed concrete and the reduced complexity of the design process.
