Award-winning architects Sheppard Robson has awarded two £500 prizes, for the Best Part 2 student project and Best Part 1 Project, to students at Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh School of Architecture end of year show.
The firm’s sponsorship is an enterprising initiative bringing together an internationally-renowned private sector practice with a world-leading architecture school to recognise student excellence.
The winning students were Zichao Chen for the Best Part 2 Project in fifth year and Jack Taylor for the Best Part 1 Project in third year.
James Dick who leads Sheppard Robson’s Scottish office, said: “We were very impressed with the standard of projects. Zichao’s project was not only visually dramatic and striking but thought provoking regarding inner city retail and existing shopping centres generally.
“Jack Taylor’s work, meanwhile, took a very different and considered approach to the main street of Penicuik. While many students focused on a particular building, Jack has thought very carefully about the streetscape itself and his project seeks to create interesting hard landscape and building interventions to enliven the route for the pedestrian through the town. He also had a very bold and poetic design for a writing retreat at Little Sparta, the garden of artist Ian Hamilton Finlay.”
