The Sir Misha Black Awards | |
|---|---|
| Sir Misha Black Medal |
The Sir Misha Black Awards, established in 1978 [1] , is a British award for design education, in memory of Misha Black. Two annual awards are conferred:
The awards were set up in 1977 by six bodies: the Design and Industries Association, Imperial College London, the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry (R.D.I.) at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), the Royal Academy of Engineering, the College of Medallists, and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. [4]
Since 2020, the Sir Misha Black Awards has been included in the Royal Commission's portfolio, as part of the commission's aim to "increase the means of industrial education and extend the influence of science and art upon productive industry." [5]
First awarded in 1978, the Sir Misha Black Medal recognises individuals worldwide who have made outstanding and lasting contributions to design education. The medal is conferred by a committee representing leading British design organisations, and each recipient is admitted to the College of Medallists. [5] [6]
First presented in 1999, the Sir Misha Black Award for Innovation in Design Education recognises teachers, teams, departments, or courses within United Kingdom–based educational institutions that have demonstrated significant innovation in design education. The award specifically honours contributions that advance and transform the practice of design education in the UK. [5]
The Sir Misha Black Awards Committee is composed of representatives from the founding bodies:
Members include Malcolm Garrett (chairman) – RSA Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry, [7] and Chris Wise, Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.
