Catagory A Winners
First Prize:
Andrew Brown, Gareth Jones & James Falconer
A strong abstract design with varied potential for use. Good division between cold and warm areas. Modules of different conditions could be used for experimentation.
Joint Runner-Up:
Jochen Rabe (Arup) with Stefan White (Manchester School of Architecture) and Mike Wells (Biodiversity by Design)
Clearly based on extensive research on bats, catering for different species and based on sound knowledge. Highly successful for this reason. One of few entries to show how different species of bats might fly in and around the structures.
Joint Runner-Up:
Mitchell Taylor Workshop and Buro Happold
One of the strongest entries from an architectural point of view, this entry truly embraced the challenge of designing for a new typology. It attempted to combine suitability for bats with an experimental, modular approach to design and construction, using a limited palette of materials.
