The UK’s most inclusive award for taught coursework relating to the past and future of valued places – The Institute of Historic Building Conservation’s (IHBC) 2015 Annual Gus Astley Student Award – is still open for submissions, with a closing date of 31 July 2015 and offering the chance of a cash award of £500 as well as places at the IHBC’s Annual School in 2016!
IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: ‘The award is one of the highlights of the IHBC’s calendar, and we are always delighted to welcome the winner to our Annual School, as well as those commended runners up of course! Indeed the winners from the 2014 award have been especially fortunate as they joined us in June in Norwich where we explored ‘Conservation and the diversity of place’ across a particularly welcoming weekend. Their contributions to this challenging topic were especially welcome’.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Lecturers, trainers and educators on UK’s taught courses should be sure to circulate this news across their student and training networks, and remember that relevant disciplines range from history, heritage skills and management, to planning, regeneration and design.’
