THE 2024 AIA UK CHAPTER EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN AWARDS
The American Institute of Architects UK Chapter is pleased to announce its 2024 Design Awards. For 30 years, these awards, which do not require AIA membership to enter, have proven highly valued by architects as they confer international recognition for design excellence.
Note to AIA Canada Society Members:
This awards program accepts submissions for projects in the UK by international firms AND international projects by firms or designers based in the UK.
Deadline: EXTENSION TO MONDAY 13 MAY
Valid entries must be received by 17:00 BST on Monday 13 May 2024. No late or incomplete entries will be accepted.
The awards programme recognises and honours excellence in design in three categories: Professional (submissions further organized into Small, Medium & Large projects), Emerging Practice, and Exemplary Performance in Sustainability.
Sustainability is a core aspect of the AIA UK awards and the jury encourages all project submissions to complete as much of the sustainability portion of the form as possible, as well as to provide other metrics or narrative that elaborate on project sustainability measures for the jury’s consideration.
Details as follows:
Professional: Entries are sought from architects, industrial designers, urban planners, landscape architects, and interior designers for projects whose construction has been completed within the last three years (2021-2023).
Emerging Practice: Entries are sought from young, emerging architects, industrial designers, urban planners, landscape architects, and interior designers whose practices are made up of design principals under 40 years of age, for projects whose construction has been completed within the last three years (2021-2023).
Sustainability: We launched this award in 2020 as part of the worldwide call to action on climate change and carbon reduction. This award seeks to commend projects that demonstrate creative and effective sustainable designs, whose construction has been completed within the last three years (2021-2023).
