Phillip Webb Design Competition Entry
Working alongside fellow student Vinesh Pomal, we proposed a scheme to regenerate three of the existing, currently defunct, windmills in Es Jonquet as well as an urban masterplan for the area.
The award aims to encourage new design in the context of historic buildings from any era and to develop an appreciation of old buildings among architectural students.
