The prize was set up in memory of the teenager who was on the
road to becoming an architect when he was tragically murdered
in 1993. Supported and founded by the Marco Goldschmied
Foundation, it is intended to encourage fresh architecture talent
and reward the best examples of projects that have a construction
budget of less than £1 million.
