Bartlett student wins medal for architectural drawings

A postgraduate student from the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture has won an award for his wildly imaginative architectural drawings. Pascal Bronner won a Royal Institute of British Architect?s (RIBA) President?s Medals Student Award: the Serjeant Award for Excellence in Architectural Drawings Part 2. The award is given annually to students at RIBA-recognised schools in the UK and abroad to promote excellence in the study of architecture, to reward talent, and to encourage architectural debate. Pascal?s winning submission was inspired by the fictional lost city of Malacovia from , a book by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi. The book takes the form of a catalogue of fantasy lands, islands, cities, and other locations from world literature. Pascal re-imagined the tale as the blueprint for his sustainable 21st-century city ?New Malacovia: The Endless Laboratory?. His vision of New Malacovia is a hybrid of rural and urban landscapes where familiar everyday materials are used to perform unfamiliar architectural and urban tasks.
