| RECENT NEWS: Winner of the sixth RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship announced. Thomas Aquilina of Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture is the winner of the 2012 RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship. He will be granted £6,000 to develop his proposal, ‘Material Economies: recycling practices in informal settlements along African longitude 30ﾺE’ , which takes the scholarship’s theme of resources and addresses recycling in informal African settlements. Lord Foster who chaired the deciding jury said: "Once again, I have been impressed by the quality of all the entries. The standard was high, but the winning proposal stood out for its systematic analysis of a relevant issue. It is a serious, well thought through proposal and shows a sympathetic awareness of the social issues within self-built communities. Thomas has already been based in Nairobi, and understands some of the hardship he will encounter on his journey. Though difficult, this ‘once in a lifetime’ travel opportunity is very much in the spirit of the scholarship and I am pleased that we are able to support him.” Link | |

| • For a film that concerns itself with the dark, Pitch Black Heist is suddenly in the spotlight. Lasting only 13 minutes, starring one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors, and directed by an Edinburgh College of Art graduate, the movie won the Best Short Film award at this year's BAFTAs. Directed by John Maclean, who studied painting at ECA before graduating in 1994, and starring Michael Fassbender, the film tells of a bank raid in a vault with light-sensitive alarms. Fassbender, who was also nominated for the Leading Actor BAFTA for his performance in Steve McQueen's Shame, is the burglar tasked with infiltrating the gloomy safe. Before moving into film Maclean formed The Beta Band with another ECA painting graduate Robin Jones. After they broke up in 2004 they formed The Aliens with Gordon Anderson, a former ECA student from the 1990s. This is Maclean's second film with Fassbender. Their previous collaboration, Man on a Motorcycle, was shot entirely on a mobile phone. (13/02/2012) | |

James, who grew up in Woodside, Aberdeen, is in his final year at Edinburgh College of Art. He entered a George kidswear competition launched by the brand at Graduate Fashion Week 2011 - the prize was a work placement, a cash prize and the chance for the winners’ work to be produced. James said “The atmosphere at GFW was amazing; I was so excited to be given the chance to show my designs along with other students. I was overwhelmed when my name was announced, not only had I got to the finals, I’d won runner up for kids wear. “I was on placement at George head office for two weeks and really enjoyed being in the core of the industry, everyone was really nice and I have gained a great deal from the experience.” James’ floral print girls’ dresses are now available in 386 stores and available to buy online for £10/£12.James added “I’m still in shock; until I see my designs in store or online I’m not sure I’ll believe it” George Brand Director, Fiona Lambert, said: “Childrenswear and creativity form an integral part of our business -- 25% of clothes sold in the UK are kids’ clothes so we wanted to encourage students to look at this area as a real opportunity. As title sponsors of Graduate Fashion Week 2011 we created a competition for students that covered this important part of the industry. “We were blown away by the standard of work we received and had a great time going through them all -- James’ work really stood out to us and we’ve enjoyed having him on board. He should be really proud of himself.” (14/03/2012) | |
