RIBA Part 2 + Student Prize

Congratulations to D5 staff member Richard Robinson on the completion of his RIBA Part II qualification and 3D Reid Student prize nomination, for his thesis project.

His work explores the potential of interrelationships between industrial desalination processes and tidal salt marsh regeneration to supply decentralised, clean water to the village of North Ferriby, in the Humber estuary. The proposal takes a holistic approach to waste products by; reusing waste brine in a salt therapy spa to attract tourism and public engagement to our water infrastructure, and creating workshops that explore the potential of salt as a future building material.
