Unfortuneatly the prize winnings are going straight into the black hole known as my student loan, but the credit for this award goes far beyond just a simple design nod, this helps validate the work myself and my collegues have committed to with 1:1 – Agency of Engagement.
An exciting future for this type of Architecture awaits…
