The Young Architect of the Year Award 2005
The Young Architect of the Year winner will be announced on Tuesday 29 November 2005 at the Architect of the Year Awards evening ceremony at London's Hilton Hotel. The deadline for entries is 5pm on Thursday 1 September.
The Young Architect of the Year Award will recognise and reward the UK's most talented architect aged 40 or under or practices where the majority of principals are 40 or under. For the first time in its eight-year history the award will be open only to UK-based architects. The winner will receive a £5,000 prize at the Architect of the Year Awards gala dinner ceremony, which will be attended by 800 clients and architects. The finalists will also be celebrated at a planned exhibition.
Entrants should submit a maximum of two A1 panels showcasing a selection of their best work, illustrating a breadth of built work, building proposals, masterplanning and urban design.
Judges on the panel are author Alain de Botton, architect James Gowan, Sheila O'Donnell, Partner, O'Donnell + Tuomey, Paul Monaghan, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Graham Morrison, partner, Allies & Morrison, Peter Salter, Architectural Association and the University of Bath.
The judges will be looking for imaginative and powerful ideas that are practically and aesthetically resolved and which generate a sense of excitement and promise, an understanding of materials and construction techniques and the ability to use them in an original and competent manner, an understanding of architectural social cultural and economic values, an ability to present ideas coherently, demonstrating professional expertise and accessibility to non-architects.
