“Toby Paterson’s appreciation of architectural forms and structures developed from skate boarding around abandoned concrete buildings. From this perspective he experienced cities and buildings as spaces to navigate; a collection of isolated forms and surfaces that could then be translated into paintings and sculptures. He works in a variety of forms, from large-scale sculptural assemblages and architectural wall drawings to small paintings on paper and Perspex. Paterson’s work explores the integration of art and architecture. He is influenced by his personal experience of the built environment, with a particular focus on post-war architecture and an interest in the processes of abstraction within visual art. nspired by the language of Modernist architecture his modular pavilion will introduce an new feature into the multifaceted landscape of the Southbank.”

Yaz El-Hakim, Hugh Bassett-Jones and Dominic Northcott, all staff at the University of Winchester, had a vision for “the best, most comprehensive, most intuitive and free of charge directory for anyone wanting to take part in any extreme or adrenaline sports anywhere in the country.” They made their vision a reality after securing a Business Start-Up award, and have since joined up with Bex Lewis and Helen Owten who take on the social media side of the company. Facing stiff competition from others at the University of Winchester, Super Fun Days Out was one of only two successful businesses in the November 2008 rounds for new business start-ups, and the funding has been put to good use.
