Making Matters Modelmaking Award Winner
The Croft – Mistry Swire Architects
In B.15 Workshop at Manchester School of Architecture, we’re always asking students to tell a clear story when thinking about their physical models. Understanding why steps were taken, why different materials and processes are used and to show what changes might have been made. We believe this connection to the act of making keeps us grounded and has the ability to directly inform our design decisions. These considerations along with a clear explanation and demonstrating the architects engagement with the process have led to choosing today’s winner of what we hope is the first of many modelmaking awards from the MSA.
The shortlist for Making Matters award:
The Croft – Mistry Swire Architects
The Stores – Annabelle & co
