WINNER OF INAUGURAL ‘HOLMES AWARD’ ANNOUNCED
01 September 2009
A 3rd year student at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Phil Zoechbauer, has won the inaugural Holmes Award, a new annual £500 prize open to 3rd year students from the Strathclyde and Mackintosh schools of architecture. The award, supported by Holmes, was announced by the Glasgow Institute of Architects (GIA) in May, as part of its commitment to strengthening the links between the two schools and professional practice.
Phil Zoechbauer’s winning submission consisted of design concepts for two schemes in Dumfries and Galloway – a musicians’ retreat in the valley of Glenluce and a ‘Music Box’ performance facility in the town of Stranraer. The judges were impressed by the level of detail and consideration in both schemes and with the strong evidence of a sustainable design approach.
