The winners of the 2016 RIBA President?s Medals were announced at a ceremony at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in central London this evening (6 December 2016).
First awarded in 1836, the RIBA Presidents Medals reward talent, promote innovation, and encourage excellence in the study of architecture worldwide. This year 275 entries were received from 87 schools of architecture in 33 countries.
The Silver Medal (for best Part 2 design project) was awarded to Thomas Chee (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, tutored by Peter Winston Ferretto and Ingrid Schroder) for Crafts Vault: The V&A Academy of Artisanal Crafts. The project responds to the threat to traditional crafts posed by the 2008 economic downturn and new technology. Chee brings traditional skills back to the modern city by imagining new living craft workshops as an addition to London?s V&A Museum.
