NORTHSHORE ‘MAKE ME A HOME’ COMPETITION
Launched in September 2008 the competition ‘Make me a Home’ challenged architects to shape the future of family housing. The competition was organised by the RIBA on behalf of The Northshore Development Partnership, a joint venture between Urban Splash and Muse Developments. The objective of the competition was to select a design team to produce designs that would help the delivery of a new housing typology at Northshore, a £300m redevelopment scheme in Stockton-on-Tees. This paper describes the judging process for stage 1, the anonymous shortlisting of schemes. Stage 1 Dates : 9th & 10th December 2008 A total of 112 submissions were received by the 1st December submission deadline. Submissions took the form of 2 x A1 boards plus a working model. Jury Panel : Due to unavoidable circumstances both Paul Monaghan and David Adjaye were forced to withdraw from the panel at short notice. They were replaced by Neil Taylor, Director of Faulkner Browns and Christophe Egret of Egret West. Neil Taylor undertook the role of Chair. All of the submissions were set out in the room and all panel members were given the opportunity to study them individually in the first instance. The judges were reminded of the assessment criteria : - design quality – does it inspire, amaze and intrigue The judges then discussed the brief, and their individual aspirations. They agreed that the successful schemes would be those which seemed to successfully combine inventiveness and flair with practicality and deliverability. Designs have to work as a family home so this should be a primary consideration. The judges agreed that at this stage they should not regard the designs as finished schemes but they should look at their potential to be a high quality, deliverable solution. From the first viewing it was clear firstly that the overall quality of entries was exceptionally high. The first day assessment involved placing the schemes into three categories : ‘A’ ; ‘B’ and ‘C’. Schemes marked ‘A’ were considered to be strong contenders, and generally these were those where the judges were convinced by both the planning and the typology. They also needed to be convinced that the scheme would work within an appropriate density. Only 22 of the schemes were considered to be of the ‘C’ (not potential contender) category – a mark of the high standard of entries. The second day involved a number of rounds of discussions. As the judges became more familiar with the submissions, they were able to compare and contrast between entries, and schemes were grouped according to their different ways of approaching the masterplan. Each round involved the elimination of schemes, until the judges were down to six schemes – the shortlist. To follow is a summary of the observations and comments made by the judges during their deliberations, which it is hoped helps explain the reasons behind their decisions : - response to context, particularly the river, varied. Some turned their backs on the river or blocked it off completely whereas others successfully engaged with it, providing in some cases lovely outlooks towards it from the properties. Some responded better to the change of levels than others
After much deliberation the judges identified six schemes which they would like to explore further at stage two : Scheme 18 Scheme 57 Scheme 61 Scheme 63 Scheme 67 Scheme 89 The judges agreed this presented a strong and diverse shortlist. The envelopes revealing the identities of the authors were opened revealing the shortlist as : Scheme 18 – K2 Architects, Liverpool The shortlisted teams were invited to make a presentation to the judges at a final assessment on 28th January. The judges asked the RIBA to pass on their thanks and appreciation to all entrants for providing such an excellent and diverse range of submissions, and for the level of thought and commitment that has clearly gone into this competition. |
