Te Outpost: Ephemeral Coastlines the Fate of Holderness
Ply, mild steel rod, perspex and card
James Patterson
Te Outpost explores the effects of coastal erosion on local architecture in Holderness, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Bennetts Associates Architects
Te chapel’s sculptural form will create a new visual focus, with the shape derived from a desire to capture views of the arboretum and Charles Barry’s gothic centrepiece. An adaptable space, the chapel can accommodate whole-school assemblies and regular worship, and has excellent acoustics.

Ty-Hedfan, Brecon, Wales
Cork, cardboard, wood and acrylic Featherstone Young
Te house design takes full advantage of this riverside location by cantilevering the main living areas towards the river at first-floor level. It also takes its cue from the traditional Welsh longhouse, both in its form and its use of traditional local slate and stone cladding.
1144 Leaf Tower Acrylic Squire and Partners
Te Leaf Tower was a research project based on the premise that a tower can generate energy using solar photovoltaic panels, to supply a 100% supply of electricity to its users. Its structure is based on a leaf, a form that captures energy from the sun to fuel plant growth. Te facade projects a strong geometric pattern both from inside and out, creating an elegant and functional form.
