Launched in 1999, the AR Emerging awards grant early recognition to young designers and celebrates the architectural stars of tomorrow. Established by The Architectural Review in response to the heavy-hitting Gold Medals, Pritzkers, and other lifetime achievement awards, the AR Emerging awards recognise a promising portfolio of work and propels young talent onto the international stage early in their careers.

Previous winners have included Carla Juaçaba, Shigeru Ban, Rick Joy, Ana Heringer, Sou Fujimoto, Thomas Heatherwick, Neri & Hu, Li Xiaodong and Frida Escobedo.

Rather than focusing on a single, completed building, the AR Emerging awards recognise excellence in an overall body of work. They encourage a wide range of design projects: new builds, refurbishments, interiors, furniture, infrastructure and pop-ups, as well as product, urban and landscape design, with no restriction on scale, programme, budget or location.
