New London Architecture

NLA/CSM Student Prize 2021 winner: Tim Lucas

Tuesday 02 November 2021

NLA and the M Arch Spatial Practices course at Central Saint Martins have partnered up for this year NLA Student Prize. This award provides an opportunity for students to link up with NLA’s professional network and has helped students to kick off their careers. 
 
The six shortlisted students selected this year have produced exceptionally thought-provoking works that reflect on crucial issues of today’s world, and they have applied that thinking to London. 
 
The students presented their work at the Pecha Kucha event on Wednesday 20 October in the NLA Galleries at Coal Drops Yard.
 
Tim Lucas was selected as the winner of the NLA/Central Saint Martin student prize 2021.
 
Peter Murray OBE, Curator-in-Chief, NLA said:
 
‘I was hugely impressed at the range of significant issues tackled by all the shortlisted students and particularly taken by Tim’s mix of radicalism and realism in facing up to a future circular economy and key aspects of consumption, obsolescence and waste.’
 
Tim Lucas, winner of the NLA/Central Saint Martins Student Prize 2021, said:
 
‘It was really enjoyable presenting my thesis project for the NLA/CSM Student Prize having not had a chance to share my work in person over the last year. This prize has been a great opportunity to highlight the value in discarded and imperfect materials, one of many systems that requires rethinking for near-future low carbon societies.’
