The winners of the Manchester Society of Architects Student Travel awards 2010 were announced last night by RIBA President Ruth Reed at CUBE. The event also included 5 presentations from last year’s winners who reflected on their experience of winning the award.

The Student travel awards have enabled students to travel to a wide range of destinations and experience architecture in context at first hand. This has allowed them to further their knowledge in their chosen area of study and the benefit of their experience has been passed on to fellow students and practitioners by way of written reports and informal illustrated talks at the annual MSA Student Travel Awards Evening at CUBE.
