The Alexander Thomson Scholarship 2012

The Glasgow Institute of Architects, trustees of the Alexander Thomson Scholarship, launched the competition entitled ‘Reinventing the parlour at Holmwood House’, calling for the design of a contemporary installation within the parlour of the Thomson designed villa.

Entrants were invited to write their own brief and explore a diverse palette of sound, light, colour, texture and smell in their submissions. The only requirement being that the resulting entry be capable of potential implementation on a temporary basis.

The competition was won by Glasgow-based 'Dress For The Weather', whom the GIA are working with to realise the project.
