In this, the Brick
Awards’ 43rd year, the brick industry begins its search for the very best
examples of brick architecture and brickwork in the UK’s built
environment.
This enduring and
highly-respected awards programme invites entriesuntil the 31st of May, from
architects, developers, specialist brickwork contractors and house builders.
Last year, over 330
entries made for 15 hotly contested categories and, with some 600 guests
attending the presentation ceremony, the Brick Awards generated widespread
interest from across industry, press and the general public.
Among the 2018
winners, the coveted title of Supreme Winner was awarded to the stunning
Storey’s Field Centre designed by MUMA architects, which bowled over judges
with its playful use of brick and assured attention to detail, finish and form.
Judges were also
impressed by Maccreanor Lavington Architects’ work on Royal Albert Wharf,
awarding the project best Large Housing Development. The carefully articulated
series of buildings sit around generous public spaces that animate one of East
London’s disused docks.
The materiality and
use of brick on the different buildings generates distinct characters for each,
which are in keeping with the industrial past while also bringing colour and
finesse to the area: A great example of UK manufactured brick being used in a
new high-quality, sustainable housing scheme.
The
2019 Awards ceremony will take place at the Royal Lancaster London, Lancaster
Gate on 13th November 2019. To enter this year’s awards please visit www.brick.org.uk/brick-awards
