Congratulations to a student group from the Construction and Project Management class on achieving 2nd place in the i-Rec international student competition to produce ‘innovative ideas to radically improve post-disaster reconstruction strategies and/or to reduce disasters in developing countries’.

The project was chosen from over 30 entries, submitted from around the world and of a very high standard. You can see all of the entries at: http://membresirec.umontreal.ca/student_competition/6th/

The prize winning group was Jennifer Kane, Lauren Flanagan, Alex Sleator, Gary Hughes & Daniel Clarke Hagan. They submitted an entry proposing a solution to isolated flooding in Pakistan, adjudged by an international pool of expert practitioners and academics to tackle significant local issues in a context-sensitive manner with innovative solutions. They have been awarded a prize of $1000.

Architecture Sans Frontières-UK recently visited Queen’s to host a number of lectures to both undergraduate and postgraduate architecture and construction project management students, as well as participatory design workshops showcasing examples of their international work. Below are some images from one of their presentations. If you would like to find out more about their work, click here.

The Street Society, a one-week “live project”, is taking place this week at Queen’s. Check out the Street Society blog for the latest information on this years projects.

The Street Society is a unique opportunity for students of architecture to work with and for a real-life client with a real-life project outside the university.

Dr. Sarah A Lappin will represent Queen’s Architecture on the Organizing Committee for the International European Architectural History Network Conference to be held in Dublin in 2016.  Dr Lappin joins individuals representing various universities, the architectural profession, artists and archivists based both on the island of Ireland and further afield.

PLACE has published a collection of new books exploring three key areas of architecture in Northern Ireland: Health, Housing and Education, which includes writings from one of our MArch I students, Aodh O’Neill. He also did his BSc at QUB.

Eimear Murphy, who graduated last year, has been highly commended in the AAI Maurice Craig Award for best thesis 2012. The jurys citation complemented the project for its humanity and imagination. The winner was Alan Hilliard from SAUL.
