WINNER! - Professional Category

The Calling All Creatives competition winner to design one of the Coventry City of Culture “Show Windows” goes to…

@internetpriya @j_art4c and Ola Adeyemi for their entry ‘Coventry’s Tapestry’.

“A show window proposal that is symbolic of the eclectic heritage of Coventry. An interconnected web whose strands meet, connect, move and collect memories in an ever-growing cultural narrative. Coventry’s mapping in the world is deeply embedded in the diverse mix of people groups who shape and operate in a way that gives a sense of belonging. We believe this design powerfully portrays the urban, social and cultural strands of Coventry in a way that produces an emotional response.”

Congratulations on a great submission, this Winning entry will be constructed in collaboration with @fabricdesignandbuild

@sculpt_design for their entry ‘Movement’

“Reflecting on a combination of Coventry’s rich history in the watchmaking trade and the endless movement of the energetic city, our design highlights the city’s past and present by focusing on the theme of ‘movement’. The city moves like the ticking of a clock, its communities working as the intricate mechanisms of change, which are celebrated in our window art installation.”

@jakeclarkedesigns for their entry ‘What Coventry Lost’

Echoing the silence of the Telegraph, Jakes proposal involved collecting 568 (as many as people who died in the Blitz) news-stories from across the world which were published about Coventry in the months of November and December. Using the printed news stories on recycled paper as a building material, the project will use paper couture to re-create abstract shapes reflecting the city’s most important achievements and casting it’s eye to the future.

@cjpdesigns for their entry ‘Paper Burst’

"The piece would form two sun/star burst like effects using my signature paper cut style creating layers and depth with the added layer of having a constant moving light source allowing for the final piece to look different during the day, in particularly at night when the main light source would be from the interior lighting a more orange like glow being saturated by the paper.”

The Calling All Creatives competition winner to design one of the Coventry City of Culture “Show Windows” goes to…

The Year 13 Graphics Group from #bluecoatschoolcoventry

“Coventry is twinned with 26 towns and cities across the world. We decided to celebrate this fact and educate Coventry citizens and visitors at the same time.
Our window has 2 layers, the window itself which is covered in transparent decals depicting landmarks in 13 of these twinned towns, identified by text naming the place, country and distance from Coventry, UK.

The second layer is a custom made Neon sign saying “Welcome to Coventry” representing not only a message to all visitors, hotel guests and University students who reside in the locality but a message of friendship to our partner towns and cities.”

Well done to all of the students, this winning entry will be constructed in collaboration with @fabricdesignandbuild

“The overall proposal is to create a window display of the bicycle history connection with Coventry and its impact in the world. I will be using the bicycle routes of Coventry in an abstract form as a base then attaching deconstructed bicycle parts suspended in the window: This creates a connection with the big impact the bicycle industry had in Coventry and how it has affected its landscape.”

Join the Birmingham Architectural Association's @gensler_europe Matthew Redding as we partner with the Webb Yates @webbyates @robnield1 and Cleveland Steel & Tubes @cleveland_steel and for the third instalment of our ‘Materials Bank’ series as we look at the uses of Steel, Straw and Stone within the construction industry.

Materials are finite, and the construction industry needs to be designing with them responsibly to avoid adverse environmental issues, including personal illness, habitat and species loss, pollution, and resource depletion. What their aesthetics, functions and carbon reductions could these various materials provide to projects. What have their previous uses been? Where and who supplies them? And many more questions answered

Design, and Architecture specifically has a long history of the ‘trial and error’ method where projects are undertaken with an ‘I know best’ mentality. Jane Jacobs describes that we as designers should holistically try to understand the needs and wants of the people to bring architecture and design down to a humanising level and this is the exact stance that I have on the involvement of students within the wider profession.

I am a passionate and curious individual currently attending my first-year Architecture Masters at Coventry University. I am interested in the sustainability of the design and the idea of it becoming the necessary norm in our daily lives rather than a bullet point on a submission checklist. As my course progresses I hope to gain more skills and knowledge in the future of sustainability as well as travel and learn about other cultures.

I would encourage people wanting to be architects to be very open minded and not put too many limitations in the design process. I also think that engineering and science should be encouraged in the design process. Without spreading out and being inquisitive I think you can quickly get behind with what is trending and new innovations.

Coming from a student’s point of view on society’s current architectural progression and how new students that join the profession can play even a small role, I believe that there should be more emphasise on student education and experience during their journey into the working environment.
