THE ROOFLIGHT COMPANY SPONSORS 2008 MANSER MEDAL
£5000 prize for innovation to be awarded at gala dinner, October 2008
OXFORD, 13 FEBRUARY 2008: The Rooflight Company - the UK’s leading provider of high quality rooflights, roof windows and skylights - today announced its continued sponsorship of the UK’s prestigious Manser Medal for 2008. The Manser Medal is awarded for the best one-off house or major extension designed by an architect in the UK. The Manser Medal is administrated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and became part of the RIBA awards in 2003. The Judges Panel for the 2008 competition will be led by former RIBA President and award-winning architect, Michael Manser CBE. The winner will be announced at a glittering gala dinner in Liverpool - this year’s European City of Culture – in October.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Val King, Co-Chair of The Rooflight Company, says: “The Manser Medal is a fantastic showcase for UK architecture and the work of our architects, who continue to dazzle us with winning designs. The Rooflight Company has a great history of innovation, quality and leadership in its field, and we are committed to supporting innovation and excellence in architecture and design.”
The 2008 Manser Medal will this year include housing projects as well as individual houses. This means that private or social housing developments will now be eligible for entry, as will projects by local authorities. To qualify for the Manser Medal, entrants must be previous RIBA Award winners. The closing date is 21 February 2008.
