The competition kicked off early Friday morning and continued until Saturday afternoon, where students collaborated in designated design teams. Each team included two architects or architectural technologists, two engineers, a landscape architect and a quantity surveyor, none of whom had met before 鈥� creating situations and relationships comparable to real world project teams.

Throughout the two days teams had open access to the judging panel of pioneering design professionals, knowledgeable industry sponsors and the University of Sheffield鈥檚 exceptional facilities.

When 29 hours were up, #tomorrowstimbertalent teams had 8 minutes to present their designs to the expert panel of judges - who were unanimous in naming Team 9 the winners, citing their innovative approach and attention to future adaptability.

Team 9 scooped the top prize of 拢1200, closely followed by Team 3 in second place and Teams 4 and 7 in third and fourth. Quantity Surveyor student Andy Freeman (Team 6) from Sheffield Hallam University was Highly Commended for impressing Oliver Booth and the judging panel with his knowledge, enthusiasm and application.

The multidisciplinary team of six that aced this year's TRADA University Challenge ignored the convention of the red line boundary and changed the arrangement of buildings around the site. Their innovative approach led to a design that combined post and beam with a modular volumetric structure. Slotted and stacked into four frames of differing heights, which maximised sunlight and 鈥楥LT room pods insulated with wood-fibre鈥� accessed through the communal central areas that would add to student community engagement. Each studio included a shower room and a study area with external windowed views. Communal areas at both roof and ground level encourage further interaction. Total costs were estimated at 拢33 million with an 18-month programme.

Isaac Palmiere-Szabo, Leicester School of Architecture, DMU, commented:

鈥業 was pushing to design something a bit more experimental and different to standard student typology, which I know can be easy to get wrong 鈥� surprisingly, we were the only team to disrupt the original footprint of the site. We had a really strong team and worked really well together; although at first there was a communication barrier between the different disciplines, after an hour we were all on the same page鈥�.

Louisa Keighley, University of Derby, commented:

鈥榌Working with engineers] was very new and really enlightening. It was quite daunting to discover how much information they needed. I鈥檝e never worked with a QS to that level before either and it was really interesting to see how they worked. I think the knowledge gained in the TRADA University Challenge will be invaluable when I go out into the workplace. I鈥檒l know what is required of me and what information the other disciplines will need from me鈥�.

Tabitha Binding, TRADA鈥檚 University Engagement Manager, shared:

鈥業 am absolutely delighted with all the students who participated in this year鈥檚 University Challenge. The degree of imagination that went into each teams鈥� designs was amazing. The knowledge gained of how and where to use timber and timber products is both practical and useful as students head out into the professional world. The multidisciplinary aspect has given them an understanding of how working holistically is beneficial to designing, engineering and constructing quality buildings.

'Congratulations to Team 9 for their deserving win and congratulations also to all sixty students who took part. I would like to thank the University of Sheffield and our excellent team of hands-on sponsors, judges and ambassadors who worked tirelessly engaging, enthusing and educating.

Thank you also to Wood for Good, who provided participants with The Modern Timber House in the UK'.

Judges鈥� comments

鈥榃hen you鈥檙e at work, you get almost blinkered with how architecture needs to fit in with so many fixed issues and fixed challenges. To spend a couple of days engaging with students, who are all 小黄鸭视频 creativity is really exciting. I鈥檝e never come across a competition, which involved such a diverse range of different disciplines. It鈥檚 brilliant.鈥�

Patrick Usborne, dRMM Architects

鈥楬aving worked with the University of Sheffield quite recently, the TRADA University Challenge continues that involvement 鈥� promoting the use of timber to students. When I was at university we didn鈥檛 receive formal timber training or have this kind of competition. Everything I鈥檝e learnt [小黄鸭视频 timber] has been post education. The students have come up with some interesting and unusual solutions.鈥�

Tom Harley-Tuffs, Ramboll

鈥楾he University Challenge was a really good opportunity to spend time with some TRADA members and meet lots of students. I like that format and setup 鈥� I think it鈥檚 conducive to team building and showing that QSs are an essential part of every building project.鈥�
