D5’s Meera Jackson has been tutoring second year architecture degree students for the past year, and was very pleased to be asked to present prizes to graduate students on D5 Architects behalf in the Dissertation: Champions of Environmental and Social Agenda category to Samuel Kercher – Champion of inclusive urban design, Alana Perry Kinloch – Champion of urban regeneration and Batool Hamadi – Champion of design for mental health and wellbeing. Meera commented, ‘ I’ve really enjoyed working with the students and seeing their projects come to life over the semesters – well done everyone’.

D5 have a long history of collaboration with local schools of architecture including tutoring, examining, work experience and year out placements. We see this as great way to connect with and help new upcoming talent and support the schools many of the practice attended.
