The TRADA Giraffe pavilion, designed by Ramboll Computational Design, has been shortlisted for a prestigious new award.
The timber gridshell structure, which was unveiled at this year’s Timber Expo, is one of only three projects in line for the top award in the Temporary Structure category in this year’s Surface Design Awards.
An overwhelming number of entries were received for the inaugural Surface Design Awards 2013. Show Director, Christopher Newton, said: “In addition to entries from all four UK countries, we have also received entries from Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland and Italy making the first Surface Design Awards truly international.”
The shortlist - and overall winners - will be chosen by a panel of architects and designers co-chaired by Felix Mara, Editor of the AJ Specification and Vanessa Brady, President of the Society of British Interior Design.
The awards will be presented at Business Design Centre, London on Thursday February 7 2013, the last day of Surface Design Show, where TRADA will be exhibiting for the first time.
