Angharad Webber was awarded a prize for her “excellence” in designing a university campus where students learn about the fishing industry.
Angharad, 25 and studying at the university’s School of Architecture and Design, received the Diploma Prize and is awarded by the local RIBA branch, representing nearly 800 architects across East and West Sussex.
Of her design, judge Paul Zara said: “It was very thorough in its exploration from community to materiality. It felt as if she’d enjoyed it – and that’s an important part of what architecture’s about.”
A second university architecture student, Jack Parker, collected the Degree Prize for his design of a factory turning stinging nettles into fabric.
