The Brick Development Association (BDA) has announced that nominations are now open for the 2016 Brick Awards.
The awards celebrate their 40th anniversary this year, a highly symbolic landmark for inspirational architecture. The awards are designed to showcase skilled and praiseworthy use of brick in the UK construction sector, and are open to architects, designers, building owners,
developers and housebuilders, to contractors and brick manufacturers.
For the chance to be included in this year’s competition enter online via the BDA website, or contact the BDA on 0207 323 7030 and an entry form will be sent out.
Award-winners this year will join some of the most notable names in the architecture and construction sectors. Recent winners include the Whitworth Art Gallery, the London School of Economics, Eton College, The Barbican, Trafalgar Place and Clerkenwell’s Turnmill building. This year’s ceremony will consider 15 categories, celebrating brick use in housing, commercial and public projects, in addition to acknowledging exceptional technical prowess in brickwork.
These categories are open to all entrants for projects featuring clay bricks and pavers manufactured by BDA members with the exception of Worldwide Project Award.
Innovation, sustainability and architectural design are key components that judges look for each year as well as the creative use of brick as an aesthetic building material.
The 2016 Brick Awards will be held at the Hilton, Park Lane, London on Thursday 10th November 2016. Project entries for this highly-anticipated event will close on 10th June 2016.
