Bradley Sowter wins with his project: A Christmas Carol Film Sets
This year’s winner of the £1,000 3DReid Student Prize is Kent School of Architecture graduate Bradley Sowter for his scheme based on the narative of A Christmas Carol with an animation that captured the atmosphere and context of his proposal. Bradley designed temporary and permanent film sets that explored the themes of the tale and entwined themselves seamlessly into the fabric of London.
Competing against 6 other entries, Bradley won for the complexity of his thinking and detailed documentation of his vision. Mark Taylor, Chief Executive of 3DReid and one of the judges commented: ‘I think this is an education for us all about where architecture is going’
