The brief for this year’s competition focused on the “ever-changing area of London”. Students were asked to speculate on the future of Lots Road Auctions site in the 21st Century, following the sale of the site in 2017 to the borough of Kensington and Chelsea for £10.5m.
“Laufen is proud to support the AIA competition which continues to be a success year after year,” said Laufen marketing manager Emma Mottram. “We are delighted to be able to work alongside the extremely talented young designers entering the industry with fresh ideas and designs.”
