(Re)Inhabiting Town Centres - Peterhead
Andy Stewart
Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment
Combining Scandinavian and Scottish architectural approaches, this is a powerful scheme with significant gravitas. It simultaneously addresses important issues about urban density, while providing a walkable, human-scaled, beautifully articulate proposition which greatly enhances the attractiveness of the harbour area of Peterhead and strengthens the town itself. This elegantly communicated proposal would generate a revitalised community through buildings which are both welcoming and appropriately civic.Judges’ Comments

Both models, drawings and particularly colour are intelligently used to interpret this scheme. Great care has been applied to producing an appropriately urban contextual response, well worked out and thoughtfully addressing the street. The sustainable use of materials, long term returns from energy saving and perhaps, most important, social sustainability are here in abundance. An outstanding piece of work.Judges’ Comments

This is an uplifting and visionary approach with consistently strong ideas. Vigour, lack of restraint and unfettered ambition, some aspects of which are wholly untempered by practicality, come together in a paradoxically credible approach to an area of the city which could benefit hugely from this stimulus. This presentation starts with big ambitions and builds up from there.Judges’ Comments

This excellent project has sustainability at its very core. Re-working industrial age infrastructure to create a green route generates the context for intervention, including appropriately scaled and carefully designed housing.Judges’ Comments

This superb suite of drawings uses a number of different techniques, traditional and contemporary, to communicate a complex set of proposals, elegantly and attractively. The use of colour is particularly powerful, immediately engaging the viewer and thoroughly persuasive.Judges’ Comments

Powerfully rendered, its tendency towards the bleak, uplifted by touches of delicacy and humour, this is a visually arresting and beguiling set of drawings. To operate within such a dark palette, yet render such positivity, takes very particular skill.Judges’ Comments
