Shapes of Edinburgh

This project started as a contest. As our trophy design was chosen, we were given the funds to manufacture the 11 trophies to be used for the awards.

​

Our trophy was designed to represent the fact achievements are rarely individual, and we need to celebrate those who help us on our journey. The smaller glass component can be removed and gifted to someone else, encouraging gratefulness, and highlighting values of community and support. The design of the glass blocks is created from landscapes of Edinburgh, using the eclectic nature of this city as a symbol for the diversity of the university’s community.
