A MEIRIONNYDD architect has scooped £2,500 after designing an innovative new display for one of Wales’ premier museums.

Lowri Roberts, who works at Rhys Llwyd Davies Architects based in Bala, has shown her talents by winning the prize in an exciting and inspirational Guerrilla Museum competition hosted by the Cardiff Story Museum and the Cardiff Museum Development Trust.

The competition was to design a pop-up temporary exhibition space that would be attention-grabbing, secure, robust, weather-proof, suitable to create a museum display but also relatively easy and cost effective to move to multiple venues in a year.

Lowri created a design for a £200,000 structure based ingeniously on the idea of a tractor – and three trailers system that could be easily folded away for easy transportation from site to site.

An “absolutely delighted” Lowri said: “I’m delighted to have won the Guerilla design competition.

“The brief offered a scope for something really unique and this intrigued me.

“It gave me the chance to design a bold and colourful project, while giving me the opportunity to use my expertise and knowledge as an architect but also my experiences growing up on a farm.”
