At the Scottish Awards for Quality in Planning (SAQP) ceremony, 8 November, the winning students of this year\u2019s Designing Places competition received their certificates.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s competition took place on Saturday 12 March 2016, at the Lighthouse, in Glasgow. The day was led by Susie Stirling (Scottish Government), supported by Ian Alexander (JM Architects), Rowena Statt (Anderson Bell Christie), and Stuart Watson and Kristen Anderson (Scottish Government). Special guests included Stuart Mearns (Head of Planning and Rural development, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park LLTNP) and Steve Hunt (Director Public Wireless Programme, Scottish Future\u2019s Trust). At the end of the day, Ian Gilzean, the Scottish Government\u2019s Architect, acted as one of the Judges and presented the winning team with their book prizes.<\/p>\n

Built environment students from courses in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and planning from, across Scotland, attended the one-day live masterplanning class which this year focused on Callander. This reason for selecting this town was because it linked to the residing 2016 Scottish Awards for Quality in Planning Overall Winner. This meant that the National Park were able to build on the success of their Main Issues Report and use one of the sites, within the plan, to be designed by students.<\/p>\n

Work of outstanding quality was produced during a fast paced afternoon by all teams. The judges were impressed with everyone\u2019s dedication, team work and excellent outputs. In addition, with this year being the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, each of the six teams were challenged to weave in innovative ideas into their design concepts as well as embracing the digital place agenda. Plus, the day was timed with the \u2018Disabled Access Day\u2019 and so inclusive design was also a requirement of the masterplan.<\/p>\n

The winning team was called the \u2018The Visionaries\u2019. They created a masterplan called \u2018Teith Meadows\u2019 which was heavily illustrated with sketches and design concepts. Their approach was to create something which connected to the water and maximised it\u2019s opportunities for the community as well as visitors. The team worked well under pressure and played to each other\u2019s strengths in how they organised their tasks and presentation. The masterplan also captured a good sense of scale in terms of building blocks and spaces.<\/p>\n
