3rd year Kingston Architecture student Jack Bailey was awarded the SOM Prize for the project 'Music House, Chicago', at this year's 2016 RIBA President's Medals. 

The Chicago Music House aims to restore this music cultural heritage to central Chicago to provide a platform where music is the means for social interaction. The early 20th Century Great Migration of six million African-American’s from the rural South to industrial cities such as Chicago gave rise to a new genre of music, an urban blues evolving from the classic blues which originated in the Mississippi.

Jack's studio tutors where Michael Lee and David Owen.
