The Brick Development Association has announced that nominations are now open for the 2017 Brick Awards.
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.
Award-winners this year will join some of the most notable names in the architecture and construction sectors. Recent winners include the Newport Street Gallery, The Whitty Theatre and Brentwood School Learning Resource Centre (pictured below).
This year’s ceremony will consider fifteen 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 the Association’s members with the exception of The Worldwide and International 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 2017 Brick Awards will be held at the Hilton, Park Lane, London on November 9 2017. Project entries for this highly-anticipated event will close on June 9 2017.
