2016 RIAI Scott Tallon Walker Student Excellence Award

08.04.16

The RIAI has announced that the RIAI Travelling Scholarship, which has been in existence for over 80 years, is to be renamed and relaunched as the “RIAI Scott Tallon Walker Student Excellence Award” in memory of Scott Tallon Walker Architects’ three founding partners, Dr. Michael Scott, Dr. Ronald Tallon and Robin Walker.

The competition will be open to students in their fifth (final thesis) year of architecture programmes in the Island of Ireland. Entrants are invited to submit a collage on a single A1 board illustrating the work they have completed during their fifth (final thesis) year. The collage will include a combination of hand-drawn sketches, concept ideas, technical investigations, final design solutions, 3-D representations, and photographs of models, arranged in such a way as to fully represent the body of work produced during that academic year. The submission may include the entrant’s thesis project. Group entries will not be permitted.
