About the Designer
Wallace recently completed his RIBA Part II with distinction from Arts University Bournemouth & is seeking a job in London but open to relocate. He is looking to expand on his 1 year post part 1 experience
His M.Arch thesis was nominated for the RIBA Silver President’s Medals ‘20, & finalist for the RIBA Wessex/ Dorset AUB prize. Wallace was awarded the prestigious Nicholas Durbridge Prize for Collaboration ’20 after his design work for a travelling architectural show was praised by architecture and design magazine Dezeen. The project looked at how a performance structure could traverse nations from Brownsea Island UK to Venice Italy and Uganda.
The project was featured in Dezeen magazine’s top 10 most interesting projects of Virtual Design Festival 2020 #vdf. Nicholas judged Wallace on how his work had had a “consistently inclusive and collaborative approach in demonstrating how positive design can be in contributing and enhancing the world.” AUB M.Arch Course Leader Ed Frith, said: “Wallace has been part of a phenomenal cohort of M.Arch students. Together they created Mutability, a workshop and installation in the British Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale with AUB MA Fine Art students.
During his RIBA Part I at University of Brighton, Wallace won Scott Brownrigg prize in first design led photography competition organised by RIBA.
