Peter Barber, who teaches DS12 with Ben Stringer has won the Royal Academy Architecture prize for 2015 for his proposal for the Royal Mail sorting office site.
The scheme was unveiled in October as a rival to contentious plans for the plot in Clerkenwell by Allies and Morrison, Wilkinson Eyre, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and AHMM. The proposal will provide inexpensive accommodation for 100 small businesses and 2,000 low-income homes.
Dr Victoria Watson’s Air Grids have also been selected for the summer show. Victoria teaches Architectural History and Theory at the University of Westminster.
