"MSc Urban Regeneration student work shortlisted in RIBA 'Forgotten Spaces' competition"The submission by PTE Architects for the RIBA 'Forgotten Spaces' competition was initiated by Alan Green (MSc UR, 2011) and Caroline Pillay (MSc UR, 2011) and was one of the shortlisted entries exhibited at Somerset House. The submission was based on project work done by Alan and Caroline as part of the BENVGUR4: Preparing Regeneration Projects' module. "Although the competition was aimed at architectural concepts the stimulus for our submission was the MSc project. We used the idea developed during the project for the regeneration of Peckham Rye Lane as the basis for the design we submitted" says Alan. |
