The 2019 Brick Awards beat its record number of entries again
this year with 349 entries across 15 hotly-contested categories.
The Brick Awards showcases the very best examples of clay
brick in the UK’s built environment. For 43 years the event has celebrated a
broad range of bold, unique and inspiring architectural works and this year is
no exception.
The task of shortlisting fell to a panel of
exceptionally credentialled architects, planners, specialist brickwork
contractors, developers and other brick experts, who produced a final shortlist
of 112 entries.
"Shortlisting
down from almost 350 submissions was not an easy process as the judges
carefully considered a range of place, design and detailed criteria within each
category," said Hilary Satchwell, Director, Tibbalds and Brick Awards 2019
Head Judge.
"In the end we
managed to select those schemes that we considered from the submission material
to best respond to the high standards set by the Brick Awards.
"The judges are
really looking forward to assessing the shortlisted schemes through visits at
the next stage. The range and depth of the submissions this year has remained
strong."
