Sarah wins Best Corporate Brochure at the Shout awards

Our very own Manchester Full time Lecturer Sarah McHugh has won the Best Corporate Brochure award at the Shout awards for freelance project MANUAL. The Robert Horne Shout awards recognises innovation, excellence and creativity in design and print.

Commissioned by Chung Tyson Architects and supported by CEBE (Centre for Education in the Built Environment), MANUAL - Thoughts on workshop teaching in Architecture, is a documentary record of teaching workshops carried out at Manchester School of Architecture. 

"Using the structure of a typical Manual as inspiration and structure, studio process work and reflective texts are thematically organised into a series of separate booklets. The booklets are bound together and the spine is left exposed - reflecting the 'making' theme within the content."

Raleigh Paper are proud to host the Annual Mohawk Show again this year at The Argyle Centre, The Rocks, Sydney on Thursday May 6, 2010 (10am to 4pm). It will then move to Melbourne on May 13 and to Brisbane on May 27 (although I'm not sure of the venues for these shows).
