Posted on by

Following judging of all shortlisted projects from Henning Larsen representative Patrick Handgrigan and Sofia Lundeholm 3 winners and 1 ‘wild-card’ winner was chosen. The judges were very impressed by the variety of work submitted and across the degree show making the process challenging as usual.

In response to the number of projects covered a last minute addition of the ‘wild -card’ was added going off judges response to seeing the work in person only. These was a clear winner for this as both judges were drawn to the work independently and without prompting.
