RIBA President’s Medals: Student Awards 2007

The winners of the international RIBA President’s Medals: Student Awards 2007 were announced at the end of November:

• Silver Medal (Part 2 student) - Steve Westcott from the Bartlett School of Architecture for his project ‘Greenwich Perceptual Observatory’
• Bronze Medal (awarded to a Part 1 student) - Amandine Kastler from the Architectural Association for the project ‘The Cabinet of Curiosities’
• Dissertation Medal - Joanna Rapp from the University of Westminster for her work ‘A Geometrical Analysis of Multiple View-Point Perspective in the Work of Giovanni Battista Piranesi’.

Keith Clarke, Chief Executive of Awards’ sponsor Atkins, said: “This is an exciting time to be an emerging architect as we respond to major challenges such as climate change. Far from inhibiting us, finding new ways of doing things is becoming more enjoyable, and even fun. By nurturing student development, while embracing and rewarding creativity and innovation, we will ensure the quality of architecture continues to grow.”
