WORLD ARCHITECTURAL AWARD TO NEW TOWN IN SCOTLAND.—A view of part of the residential area at Cumbernauld. This new town in Scotland, designed by a team of British architects, recently won the first international R. S. Reynolds Memorial Award for Community Architecture. After considering designs from 20 communities in Europe, the United States, Asia, and Latin America, the American jury gave the award to Scotland because “Cumbernauld clearly exploited to the maximum its potential as a work of community architecture without sacrificing human values.” As suggested by the winners, the 25,000-dollar prize money will be used to found architectural fellowships in urban design.
