A Writers Retreat
Supported by
 RESULTS
Creating a haven for a famous but reclusive writer is the design
brief facing students from over 120 schools of architecture
in the Sixth Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) International
Student Design Competition. The competition, which closes in
August 2003, poses the problem of creating a sustainable retreat
for a writer and on site of the student’s choice.
2000’s competition
saw nearly 150 entries from 37 schools in 13 countries throughout
the Commonwealth and was won by Connie Lam from the Department
of Architecture at Hong Kong University.
The competition is open to all students who are studying
in a Commonwealth country, with individual and group entries
accepted. Students can win a first prize of £1200 for
their entry and in a new departure, and to encourage early
inter-disciplinary working among students, a bonus prize is
offered to teams comprising two or more people from a different
discipline.
