The Tata Steel / BCSA Student Awards Structural Steel Design has been organised
by The Steel Construction Institute, with the sponsorship of Tata Steel / BCSA. The other
competition covers steel bridge design. The objective of this competition is to
encourage engineering design skills in the use of structural steelwork in an innovative
structural solution. The brief has been formulated to encourage the entrants to
realise the full structural, economic and aesthetic advantages offered by the use of
both open and tubular structural steelwork profiles.
The competition is open to undergraduates. The project brief has been finalised in
consultation with course tutors and those actively involved in designing, detailing
and constructing steel structures.
The brief this year is to prepare an outline design for a structure to enclose a golf
driving range to be constructed in a Gulf state. In addition to the driving range, the
sponsor wishes to receive initial proposals for a structure in the form of a giant golf
ball proposed as an iconic statement. Entrants are expected to demonstrate
individuality and flair in this competition, in addition to showing an understanding of
structural design, and to communicate their ideas in a written report with
calculations and drawings.

The BCSA and Tata Steel has published the brief for the 2012 Architectural Student Design Competition, and entries from UK Students of architecture are now invited.

Organised by the SCI and sponsored by the BCSA and Tata Steel, the popular competition aims to give architectural students a creative vehicle for learning about the use of steel in buildings.

The challenge for the 2012 competition is to design a long span medium-sized airport terminal building. The brief is formulated to encourage the entrants to realise the full structural, economic and aesthetic advantages offered by the use of both open and tubular structural steelwork profiles.

Featuring spans in excess of 50m, the building should include both departure and arrival areas, with all relevant facilities including check-in desks, retail outlets, WCs and security zones.

The winners of the competition will receive prizes of up to a total of £2,500, this will be awarded at next year’s Structural Steel Design Awards, to be held in July.

To enter the competition a tutor should firstly obtain and complete a ‘Notice of Intent’ and return it by 20 January 2012. This will enable the SCI to provide supplementary information if necessary.
