The DKA Award (University of Bath)

Proud to nurture the next generation

Since 2005, DKA have sponsored the Digital Visualisation Prize at the University of Bath 4th Year End of Year Exhibition. As always, it was inspiring to see the range and quality of student work across the school of architecture and as ever, the job of selecting a winner was very tough. The whole studio reviewed the images and sparked a lively debate about what makes a good image, how detail is presented, the importance of communicating a whole scheme and giving us a sense of how the building is experienced and inhabited

The  final winner impressed us with their complete presentation, that told the story of their building through a range of views and images from photo realistic CGIs, a strong 3D axonometric and convincing internal images. We all felt that we could understand and experience the building. The 2025 winner is Kara Weston-Arnold.
