Steven McCloy and Bongani Muchemwa have managed to sneak another rather "Shift-E" design proposal into a RIBA shortlist (Forgotten Spaces 2011), exhibition and mention in Architect's Journal(16-06-11)- not bad for a couple of afternoons on SketchUp!

"The derelict yet beautiful Old Post Office is retrofitted with a huge, high-tech atrium canopy, which provides a central public space to the Sheffield Department of Media, Fabrication and Robotics. The aim is to generate 21st century sustainable jobs for the city's unemployed"

Both Myself and Bongani Muchemwa were awarded prizes this year at RIBA Yorkshire Awards, representing Leeds Met against competition from Sheffield, Huddersfield, and Sheffield Hallam..

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Steven McCloy: Perruqueria Barcelona

"The panel felt the spirit of the place was beautifully captured through montage images. The use of technological innovation to exploit the sculptural manipulation of daylight created a proposal which truly embodied the culture of the locality and represented a refreshing celebration of everyday social interaction."

"This scheme took an ensemble of everyday activities to create something extraordinary."

The "Perruqueria Barcelona" project has been nominated for two prestigious RIBA awards, one just for Yorkshire, one World-Wide. Both results are pending....


I was awarded the "West Yorkshire Architects Prize for Drawing" for images presented at my degree exhibtion at Leeds School of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
