2 Completed Work
ar+d emerging architecture celebrates excellence in
completed work. Entries can be made for any
building, interior, landscape, urban or product design.
3 Categories
Categories will not be chosen beforehand, but
decided on by the Jury. Entries to previous awards
represented some of the following areas:
.Buildings – new build and refurbishment: offices,
shops, schools, houses, housing, industrial,
transport, restaurants, recreational, cultural,
municipal and religious
.Interiors – new build and refurbishment: similar to
building category, in particular restaurants, shops,
houses, clubs and galleries
.Urban design
.Product design – light fittings, architectural design,
furniture, cladding, and structural systems
.Street furniture – lights, bus stops, bollards, signs
and postboxes
.Landscape – soft and hard
.Bridges
.Temporary or portable structures – exhibition stands
.Theatre works
4 Age Restriction
The age limit of 45 has been chosen on the basis that
many emerging architects are unable to realize
designs or develop an original vision before that time,
either because of the long education and training
period, or because of lack of opportunity.
