The Hadrian Awards

The Hadrian Awards is a Biennial event run by RIBA and Northern Arcitecture to celebrate the best of design in arctitecture within the North of England. In 2007 the awards were hosted in Newcastle Civic Centre, as this iconic builidng was also celebrating its 40th Birthday.

Our brief was to create a lighting design that showed off the building and made people look at it in a new and exciting way. We therefore tried to focus of the wealth of detail all over this extravagant piece of 1960′s design.

The event was a ,huge sucess and even staff who work on events in the Civic Centre thanked us personally saying they had never seen the building looking so good and even they had noticed details in the design they hadn’t seen before.
