Westminster double for RIBA student medals
 
 
The RIBA has announced the winners of the President’s Medals Student Awards, which promote excellence in the study of architecture.
 
The three main winners were Nicholas Szczepaniak, from the University of Westminster — one of BD’s Class of 2009 — who won the Silver Medal for his part II design project, A Defensive Architecture; Wen Ying Teh from the Architectural Association, who won the Bronze Medal for her part I design project, An Augmented Ecology of Wildlife and Industry; and Rebecca Gregory, also from the University of Westminster, who won the Dissertation Medal for her work, The Art of Skew Bridges: The Technique and its History Explored.
 
A record 70 schools of architecture from 25 countries submitted their best student design projects for the awards.
 
Philip Watson, head of education for award sponsor Atkins, said: “It is incredibly invigorating to see so many fresh, new ideas coming through from the next generation of architects.
 
“This is a way for us to fly the flag for our profession at a time when major streams of publicly funded work, such as new schools programmes, are giving us an opportunity to show off the importance of good design in shaping both people and behaviours.”
 
A public exhibition of winning work is on display at the RIBA’s Portland Place headquarters, London W1, until the end of January.
