Nationwide Sustainable Housing Student Awards
Sustainable Housing Competition 2008, UK26 Oct 2009 NEW NATIONWIDE SUSTAINABLE HOUSING AWARDS THEME ANNOUNCED : Competition challenges students to think 'Suburban Urban - secure and green' Following the success of its first student competition in 2008, Nationwide Building Society is launching the 2009/2010 Nationwide Sustainable Housing Awards. Working in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), this is the second in a series of annual competitions open to undergraduate architecture and design students. For 2009-2010 the theme is "Suburban Urban - secure and green" and prizes will be awarded for designs of an individual home, or group of homes, as well as the wider community in either new build or refurbishment projects. The aim of the competition is to stimulate and reward innovative thinking about how people can live in a more sustainable way in the future - picking up key characteristics of what might be recognised today as a 'suburban' lifestyle. Wayne Hemingway MBE of Hemingway Design will announce the winners of each category at an awards ceremony in June 2010.* As a leading provider of funds for social housing and the UK's third largest mortgage provider, Nationwide wishes to promote social, economic and environmental sustainability in housing. By supporting the Sustainable Housing Awards, Nationwide is hoping to encourage others to think in a sustainable way. Graham Beale, Nationwide's chief executive, said: "We are delighted to once again be working in partnership with RIBA to launch the second annual Nationwide Sustainable Housing Awards. Last year's awards proved to be a big success and we received a number of interesting and innovative entries to choose from. "The new 'Suburban Urban' theme will hopefully inspire students to think about housing in a sustainable way and give architects and designers of the future the opportunity to showcase their creative talents." The closing date for entries is 27th January 2010 (phase 1) and
21st April 2010 (phase 2). More information about the competition

Working in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the annual ideas competition is open to all undergraduate architecture and design students. The competition aims to stimulate and reward innovative thinking about how people can live more sustainably in the future. Students are invited to present sustainable design ideas for one of three categories: existing housing, new build or community /neighbourhood. Kevin McCloud, presenter of Grand Designs will announce the winners of each category at an awards ceremony in February 2009. Nationwide is the UK’s second largest mortgage lender and a leading provider of funds for affordable housing. As a mutual organisation Nationwide is committed to supporting the communities from which it has evolved. Having made its own corporate commitments to pursue a sustainable future, Nationwide is hoping to stimulate others to think sustainably too. Graham Beale, chief executive at Nationwide, said: “We are delighted to be launching these awards, which we hope will inspire the architects and designers of the future to think about housing in a sustainable way. The initial concept was proposed by one of our members. As both housing and sustainability are issues close to our heart we felt it was a great project, both for the students and for homeowners in general who may benefit as a result of the new ideas generated.” The competition is planned to run for three years. The theme of this first year’s competition is ‘Sustainable Housing in an Urban Environment’. The closing date for entries is Friday 16 January 2009. |
