Bauhaus College - CTC Award

Competition Results

Steven Griffiths, director of CNC Property Fund Management Limited, said: "We have been delighted with the response and I think it's been an interesting exercise for us as owners to see what the students came up with."

He also praised the Bauhaus students for the standard of their submissions, adding: "Thanks to the students for their time and effort - we would be delighted to have them back in Cumbernauld."

He said that certain issues came up in many of the students' designs, for example how to tackle Central Way. He hinted that the competition could become annual and could perhaps focus on a more specific area of the town centre, for example units in Avon House that were originally earmarked as flats.- Full Story in the Cumbernauld News

The background to this competition was as follows:

The proposals are based on the research in Cumbernauld by a group of architectural students from the Bauhaus College in Germany.  The CTC award is searching for the best urban idea for the future of the town centre of Cumbernauld.  The goal was to to illustrate an innovative strategy to reorganize the town centre and to describe the improved future use.  The solution should address the past developments and find an integrative solution on how to transform and develop the existing situation into a coherent town centre.

The proposals will be judged by the citizens of Cumbernauld through the local newspaper, The Cumbernauld News, and also here on the website.

There will be a display of the entries in 15 Forth Walk, Cumbernauld Centre (next to Frisco Hair), where the public can view full size pictures of the submissions, (date to be confirmed), people can also vote there as well.
