We are delighted to announce that Piotr Smiechowicz - a July 2019 graduate of the LSBU architecture programme - has been awarded a RIBA Silver Medal Commendation in the RIBA President's Medals international design competition; Piotr is a student of MArch: Master of Architecture Studio 23 (co-led by Professor Lilly Kudic and Luke Murray), and his project receiving this award is called MoonCatcher.   

The President's Medals is the oldest competition for students of architecture in the world, with an impressive history spanning 185 years; it is considered to be both the most prestigious, and the most demanding competition in which to succeed, and we would like to send Piotr congratulations on behalf of all the architecture team, the School of the Built Environment and Architecture, and LSBU as a whole.  This is a great achievement, and builds on the very strong record LSBU architecture has established for success in the President's Medals.
