Award Winner 2008
Sarosh Mulla - Interconnections of System Densities Through Collapsible Space and Time
Designing a temporary building for healthcare workers in a World Heritage site has won Sarosh Mulla of Auckland the 2008 New Zealand Institute of Architects Graphisoft Student Design Award. The final year project by Sarosh, 23, from Henderson, was selected as the best in the country from 12 finalists from the country’s three schools of architecture.  His design project, completed for his architecture degree at the University of Auckland, was for temporary accommodation for healthcare workers in the rice terraces of the Philippine Cordillera, an endangered World Heritage site. Sarosh, a former pupil of Westlake Boys High School, said he was delighted with the success of the project – chosen because he wanted “to design something that could make a positive difference for people”. The desire to combine a real challenge with a sustainable design which could make a positive difference, drove this project for temporary accommodation for healthcare professionals in the rice terraces of the Philippine Cordillera – one of the most endangered World Heritage sites.
