SPAB and Philip Webb
Philip Webb and William Morris were the main founders of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877. From the start Webb devoted time to  teaching young architects the principles and methods of practical conservation. The Society maintains that educational tradition today.

Purpose of the Award
To encourage new design in the context of historic buildings and to develop an appreciation of old buildings amongst architectural students, through an understanding of the architectural and historical values of old buildings and the purpose, philosophy and techniques of conservation.

The Brief
The Student (or groups of Students) are to choose an individual building or group of buildings of historic interest in the UK which are subject to decay or neglect. The Student(s) are required to produce a scheme which will sympathetically re-vitalise the building(s) and setting for appropriate new existing use(s). The scheme should include a significant element of new design. Some local authorities have produced 'Buildings at Risk' Registers, which might be used as the basis for such a choice of building(s).

The Prize
A prize of £1000 will be awarded to the winner. A second prize of £500 and a third prize of £100 will also be awarded.

Eligible Students
All Students at UK Schools of Architecture who have achieved RIBA Part I and are presently working towards RIBA Part 2 examinations.

The Submission
Each Student is requested to submit 2 x A1 size drawings (on card or  lightweight board) and a report which should include location and survey drawings of the existing buildings as well as photographs of the building and surrounding environment.

Judging Criteria
Judges will be looking for:

a clear historical and architectural appraisal of the existing buildings through research, measured drawings etc.

details of proposed conservation techniques and materials, as well as details of the student's contemporary interventions, clearly showing the relationship between old and new.
