Jenson Mark Fajardo was honored with the 2014 Student Citation Award from the American Institute of Architects, Inland California Chapter, at a special event held at the Riverside Art Museum on December 11.

The jury included architects and professors from all over southern California.

Fajardo based his citation on architect Arthur Dyson and his work with the Lencioni home.

“The Lencioni residence takes me to a fantasy world because of the curvilinear and unusual oval forms, woody brown and futuristic design,” said Fajardo.

Not only did he research this architect, but he managed to land a personal interview and tour with Deborah Lapp, owner of the Lencioni home, and Arthur Dyson.

“Meeting Lapp and Dyson was a dream come true,” he said. “This research project made me more aware, creative, efficient and knowledgeable.”
