Tom Massey MSGD, who joined the judging panel this year said: ”
“It was great to see the range and breadth of projects entered into the SGD Student Awards this year. Going though the high number of entries was a really enjoyable process, and it was wonderful to see such a strong focus on sustainability, biodiversity and sensitive landscape design.
The student awards are an excellent way to get your name out there in your early career, so I was pleased to see so many students had submitted projects. Choosing the finalists was no easy task, but the shortlisted projects felt truly deserving and all contained a huge amount of thought and effort in complex and highly competent design work.”
