The winning entry is for Oliver’s ‘The Institute of Concrete Poetry’ design which utilises land at the end of John Nash’s Georgian terrace on the northern side of Regent’s Park, London. Oliver collected his prize from RIBA President Stephen Hodder at the President’s Medals ceremony, due to take place on 3 December 2014.
Together with graduate Kirstie McMullan's recent success in the RIBA Eye Line competition and Holly Crosbie's shortlisting for the Bronze Medal in 2012, this means Brighton's Architecture BA(Hons) alumni have received major recognition in each of the last three years.
John-Paul Nunes, Head of RIBA’s Education Projects, congratulated Oliver on his award: “This makes his design project one of the best out of all the entries we received this year after our call for nominations to 317 universities in 61 countries.”
