The winning entries for ADP’s second student photography competition, Architecture Naturally have been announced an exhibition, held at London’s Bankside Gallery and a second exhibition was held at last week at the CUBE in Manchester. Both events included a silent charity auction, which is on course to raise £2,000 for ADP’s chosen charity, Architecture San Frontières (ASF-UK), registered charity no: 1123786.

The competition this year focused on the relationship between architecture, and the natural world. Often seen as being in conflict, this relationship is high on both the political and social agenda, reflecting changing attitudes toward sustainability, and our place in relation to the natural world.

Ryan Manton from University of Kent, won first prize for his image, ‘Tree Sleeve’ (right). Many congratulations to Ryan who won a £1000 photographic commission, £750 of camera equipment vouchers, a one year subscription to Digital Photographer Magazine, plus 12 months discounted printing with CallPrint.

Ryan says: “I had a fantastic time at the London event, there were many great photographs on display. I am ecstatic and extremely proud to have won!”

Chomchon Fusinpaiboon from Sheffield University came a close second for his image, ‘Built Environment 1’, with Cardiff University student, Aisling Shannon, picking up third prize for her photograph entitled, ‘Sea Dance with Pillbox’.

Winning and highly commended photographs were exhibited along side a number of specially selected entries, as chosen by the judges: acclaimed architectural photographer, Peter Cook; ADP Partner, Roger FitzGerald and Jeni Burnell, Programme Manager of ASF-UK.

Peter Cook, comments: “Throughout the judging process, we were looking for an image which could capture the positive balance between architecture and nature. We feel Ryan’s image achieves this, and we congratulate him on a great piece of photography.”

Jeni Burnell, ASF-UK, adds: “The photographs at the exhibition not only looked great, but also helped to raise a substantial amount of money for
