James Phillips Architectural Travel Prize The James Phillips Architectural Travel Prize was set up in memory of James Phillips, a partner at Make Architects, and enrolled as a student on the Westminster Part 3 Course, who tragically died aged 27 on Sunday 21st September 2014. In 2015 the James Phillips Foundation, www.jamesphillipsfoundation.com was established as a charity in memory of James, and the Foundation has generously sponsored a prize of ÂŁ1000 per annum
for a Westminster architecture student in memory of James. The prize will be awarded this June for the first time. As James cared about architecture and common space, photography and travel, the prize is being set up to facilitate travel and to promote photographic recording and analysis of public space. The photographs will be archived on the James Phillips Foundation website.
The Wates Family Enterprise Trust The Wates Scholarships are being offered to students studying within the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at the University of Westminster. Ten undergraduate students will be awarded ÂŁ2000 each year for the duration of the course to assist towards their living costs as ABE students.
