RIBA President's Medals

Hi everyone...

Below are the links to the RIBA President's Medals winners and nominees for 2009. Although it is architecture and the course/projects are very different to the Spatial Design course you are on, the type of work that is produced is relevant with regards to presentation, drawings, models etc. Also be sure to read the student statements!

Please be aware that the work in the Part 1 category is degree level and the work in the Part 2 category is post graduate level.

The 2009 winners are here:

Good to meet you all

Hi everyone.

It was good to meet you all on Monday. Well done in the session. Things will get better as you all get to know one another. As well as planning each school session well, (so that you know what you want to achieve and how you are going to do it), you also need to inspire the pupils in each session. This is after all what you would have to do with an adult client too. How you inspire them is up to you, but this is an opportunity for you to think out of the box and take some risks, make sure that everyone looks forward to your sessions together.

Try some of the websites below for information and examples around design in schools. I've noticed that you have identified some of the Architecture for Humanity classroom of the future work already. Best wishes

Ian
