Architecture Competition: AIANY Design Awards 2024.
The annual AIANY Design Awards program honors exceptional architectural design both domestically and internationally. Projects that fulfill formal, functional, and technical requirements with extraordinary ability and inventiveness are recognized and awarded under this program as examples of design excellence. Projects ought to take into account the effects of architectural design, addressing matters such as social responsibility and ecological stewardship.
All initiatives, regardless of size or budget, are welcome and will be assessed according to their unique qualities and capacity to succeed within the project’s limitations. The Common App for the AIA Framework for Design Excellence must be used for all submissions. In order to evaluate project performance and more effectively handle the interconnectedness between people, buildings, infrastructure, and the environment, AIA established the Framework in 2019. Submissions do not have to cover every metric in the Common App, but candidates should emphasize metrics and narratives that are pertinent to their particular initiatives.
Awards will be granted in four categories:
- Architecture: Recognizes design excellence in completed buildings of any typology.
- Interiors: Recognizes design excellence in building interiors and related architectural work, as well as new and improved approaches to building components and architectural products.
- Projects: Recognizes temporary structures, conceptual work, pavilions, and research. Work in this category does not need to be intended for construction. Projects undertaken for academic credit are not eligible. Competition entries will be considered.
- Urban Design: Recognizes the most compelling work and ideas, both built and unbuilt, that confront and resolve environmental and urban challenges at a scale larger than that of an individual building.
