Congratulations to the University of the West of England design award winners

We were delighted to award prizes at the University of the West of England (UWE) end-of-year degree show on 9th June, as part of our Bristol Studio’s ongoing annual sponsorship.

The degree show is the highlight of the year for the students of the Faculty of Environment and Technology (FET). It’s a great opportunity to see the hard work of the students from the architectural undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

Congratulations to Isuri Ratnayake who won Undergraduate Best Design; Ben Watkinson, Postgraduate Best Design and Anna Hribova who won the Overall Best Design award. The winners won an annual subscription to ‘Detail’ magazine.

All work from the degree show was exhibited and everyone attending the show was able to take a look and celebrate the amazing talent at UWE, as well as enjoying a drink and some nibbles.

It was great to attend on-site as the show could not happen in person in 2020 or 2021. Chapman Taylor Bristol has been sponsoring these awards since 2016.

Congratulations to all winners and all students for the fantastic work showcased!
