Philip Webb Award 2018 _ Deadline 14th September 2018

Posted on May 21, 2018 by Mirna Pedalo

Philip Webb Award 2018 is an annual award from the SPAB for recent graduates and Part II students at UK Schools of Architecture.

Judged by an expert architectural panel, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) Philip Webb Award is a design-orientated competition encouraging sympathetic reuse of existing buildings and sensitive new design in an historic context.

The competition is a unique opportunity for students and architects in the early stages of their career who are interested in sustainability, reuse of old buildings and conservation practice to engage with the SPAB’s principles and showcase their skills.

Key dates:

Competition opens on 20 July 2018

Competition closes on 14 September 2018 at 5pm

AJ Student Prize – Deadline: Friday 8th June 2018

Posted on April 26, 2018 by Mirna Pedalo

All RIBA-accredited schools are invited to submit the final project of one undergraduate and one postgraduate student

The AJ has launched a free-to-enter prize aimed specifically at UK-based architecture schools, open to all students on RIBA-accredited architecture courses.

We are inviting all schools to submit the final-year projects of their two best students – one at undergraduate (Part 1) and one at postgraduate (Part 2) level. The projects must have been completed in the most recent academic season (2017/18). The AJ will publish the two entries received from each school in its annual student issue in July.

The judges – who will be announced next month – will choose two winners, one from each level, who will be announced at a prize-giving event in London this September. The winners’ work will also be covered in a September issue of the AJ.

This prize is a great platform for universities to celebrate the work of their students and their architecture departments in teaching the next generation of skilled architects.
