Revealed: schemes by finalists in Winchester station contest

It is going to be interesting to see what else accompanies the wizzy images. Our fear has always been that an urban design project would become a flashy building.

We are still backing the proposals developed in conjunction with students at Southampton University (@unisouthampton). These are illustrated above.
