Children aged four to eleven in Cornwall and Devon were invited to take part in the annual competition, which encourages creativity and ‘appreciation of spaces’, with a particular focus on
sustainability.
An exhibition showcasing the models was held at Launceston Town Hall, where competitors, their
families and friends, and the community could come and have a look at the display of talent.
It was Christopher Dart in the age 8-11 category, and Gia Gardiner in the age 4-7 category, who came
out on top. Christopher designed an engineered solar powered window, while Gia created a stained
glass piece with its own power source that projects a colourful display onto its platform.
PLACE Architects are now looking for topics for next year’s competition, likely to take place in May.
The team would like to hear from children, aged four to eleven, and schools on what they would like to build.
A spokesperson from PLACE Architects said: “It was another exceptional year and the bar has been significantly raised. The interpretations of the brief were vast and thought provoking, and were all in the spirit of the competition – creative and outside-of-the-box! It was a very tough decision.
“Special thanks goes to Launceston Town Council, the Orchard Centre and the Library for their involvement, as always. Special mention also to St Joseph’s, Miss Moore’s class at St Catherine’s, parents and anyone who made a special effort to build and bring models along.”
Well done, Christopher and Gia!
