SABE student and graduate success at the RIAI Annual Student Awards 2023
Published:
The national RIAI student awards for 2023 were announced at the annual conference on Wednesday 11th October. Over four categories, SABE students and graduates took the top prize in each with special mentions and commendations across the board.
Congratulations to Killian Collins fourth year Architectural Technology student who won the RIAI Rising Star in Architectural Technology Award 2023 and Mark Leonard also in fourth year TU831 who was Highly Commended - a great achievement by both.
For the first time ever one student won in the Scott Tallon Walker Student Excellence Award for thesis projects, Architecture Ireland Writing Prize and the Student Award for Sustainable Design. These awards are all evaluated anonymously by separate juries so it is a significant achievement to win in all three categories! Daneisha Pile a graduate of TU832 Bachelor of Architecture, swept the board, winning awards for her thesis project Relationships with Water through Regenerative Architecture and a piece of writing from her fifth year elective entitled - My Room, My Primordial Space. Daniesha joined the conference online to receive her well deserved awards but we look forward to celebrating her achievement in November when she returns to graduate.
Well done also Ellen Brien who received a Special Mention in the STW Student Excellence Award, Alexandra Leahy who was Highly Commended in the Sustainable Design Category and Kate Hunter Hanley who was Commended in the Student Writing Prize.
