Fahad Al Tamimi Architects Celebrate Ten Year Anniversary with Community Project for Students
(PRWEB UK) 17 July 2013 -- The project, called ‘These Streets are ours’, is an open invite for architecture, art and design students from across the UK to conjure a new concept of living space with a focus on community living.
Ideas can range from reinventing the humble cul-de-sac into an eco-living space to incorporating aspects of other cultures into traditional British designs. Fahad Al Tamimi, Founder and Managing Director of Fahad Al Tamimi Architecture, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for any talented students out there to really make a name for themselves in the industry.
“Nowadays, it’s incredibly hard to get a grasp on the career ladder and so the project is a great way for dedicated students to stand out from the crowd.” The prize for the winning entrant will be a year’s contract with the firm allowing them to learn from some of the UK’s leading planners and architects. In terms of entrants, Fahad said: “The key thing we’re looking for is creativity. That’s why we are taking applicants from design and art pupils rather than just architecture students."
“We want the designs to be exciting, ground-breaking and totally original. If a design shows a unique use of space and materials it should catch our eye.”
Forms of application include digital media i.e. interactive websites or video, 3D modelling and artists impressions of the designs. Fahad added: “In the UK, we’ve lost the sense our sense of community. It’s only with national events such as the Jubilee and London 2012 Olympics that we actually see a united identity, we want to incorporate these aspects more into our design work.”
To be eligible to enter the competition, entrants must be enrolled in a relevant undergraduate course or having graduated within the last 12 months.
