英国皇家建筑师协会(RIBA)公布了2017年度总统奖(President's Medals)的获胜者,以奖励世界上最优秀的学生。这个奖,被看作世界建筑教育领域里最具声望的奖项,从1836年开始设立,因此它也是RIBA历史最悠久的一个奖项。设立这个奖,是为了促进建筑学研究,同时也是为了奖励有才之人,并鼓励全球范围内的建筑辩论。奖项分为三大类:针对本科学生颁发的铜牌,针对硕士学生颁发的银牌,以及学位论文奖。除此之外,RIBA同时公布的有“Serjean卓越奖”和SOM基金会奖学金的获得者。
今年,银牌的获得者是来自一个还没有通过RIBA认证的机构的学生。“祝贺2017年的总统奖获得者,”RIBA的主席Ben Derbyshire 在伦敦的颁奖典礼上说到,“这个奖章获得者的项目实体总是令人印象深刻,17年也不例外,而且17年的项目比以往都要多。在这些崭露头角的建筑师作品中,我看到创造性和技术诠释的全新的壮志雄心,还有对建筑在社会改善中所起到的作用的关注,这让我非常高兴。”

RIBA Announces 2017 President's Medals for World's Best Student Projects
Patrick Lynch
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced the winners of their 2017 President’s Medals honoring the world’s best student projects. The awards, recognized as the world’s most prestigious in architectural education, were established in 1836 (the institute's oldest award) to “promote excellence in the study of architecture [and] to reward talent and to encourage architectural debate worldwide.”
Medals are awarded in three categories: the Bronze for a Part I student (Bachelor level), the Silver for a Part II student (Masters level), and the Dissertation Medal. In addition to these, the winners of the Serjeant Award for Excellence in Drawing and the SOM Foundation Fellowships have been announced.
This year, the Silver Medal was awarded to a student from an institution not currently validated by the RIBA.
“Many congratulations to this year’s RIBA President’s Medals winners,” said RIBA President Ben Derbyshire at the ceremony in London. “The entries for this awards programme are always impressive and this year was no exception, with more entries than ever before. I am extremely pleased to see that the creativity and accomplished technique in the work of these budding architects is matched with a renewed ambition and focus on the important role that architecture plays in social betterment.”
RIBA Silver Medal: Daniel Hall (The Cooper Union, New York, USA)
Cycles of Toolmaking: An Optic, Tactile, Haptic, Material, Scalar and Pedagogic Study
Sited in the ceramic town of Mashiko, Japan, the project proposes a place for learning which responds to the attitudes towards land use, extraction of clay, ceramic craft, agriculture, and water infrastructure, to replace a school damaged in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
Tutor: Lauren Kogod.
RIBA Bronze Medal: Kangli Zheng (University of Nottingham)
Castle in the Sky
The project is a response to London’s housing crisis, proposing an alternative model: flexible room boxes plugged into the available space above London’s terraces. In these communities in the sky, the space is defined by its occupants, who can replace and customise architectural typologies such as residential homes, co-housing spaces, storage properties, and shared public gardens.
Tutor: Alison Davies
Dissertation Medal: Rhiain Bower (University of Westminster)
Baricsio: The Slate Quarrymen’s Barracks in North West Wales
