A Magazine Scoops Top Award

RIBA North West's very own A magazine was announced as the winner of the Subscription Magazine of the Year by the International Building Press at an awards ceremony in London on the 25 June. The IBP Awards recognise excellence in journalism in architecture, construction and property and offer great prestige to the winners.

The judges praised the magazine's commitment to promoting and discussing regional architecture as well as the variety of topics it covered. The 175 edition which also addressed the recession received particular praise for its outstanding content. It was felt that the region was pushing boundaries and performing at a national and indeed international standard. It appears that this is the first time that a local or regional title has won this award.

Congratulations to Belinda Irlam-Mowbray and her team, and the members in RIBA North West who have supported this venture and who contribute regularly to the production of this outstanding magazine.

DIY Integrated City

As an upbeat creative response to the economic recession, the Liverpool Architectural Society (LAS) is planning a positive city wide project as part of the forthcoming cultural years of the Environment and Innovation.  The society aims to address architectural, cultural, planning and social issues of the Inner and Outer City of Liverpool.  The LAS aims to be inspired by local communities and situations.  Multi-professional teams of architects, landscape architects, artists, students and communities will set out to create a series of urban propositions for the inner city. 

All are welcome to get involved with the project, with further information to be found by going to http://www.liverpoolarchitecture.com/integrated_city.php|
