At the prestigious Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, George will unveil the winners of this year's shortlisted projects and presents the coveted Brick Awards trophies during the much-anticipated ceremony.

George's work has made a huge impact on the housing industry.

George Clarke is Channel 4’s face of architecture. Architect, writer and lecturer, George is one of the most popular property TV presenters on British TV, fronting Build A New Life; The Home Show; Restoration Man and George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.

George set up his own practice, clarke:desai, with business partner Bobby Desai and built a superior reputation and a team full of talent and passion, with a portfolio including innovative residential, cultural and urban design projects internationally.

As his business began to win awards, George spread his knowledge through university teaching and research, which allowed him to discover and develop ingenious and completely unique types of architecture, designed to transform everyday lives. Moving in a different direction in 2011, he set up George Clarke + Partners, a firm which is also involved in renovation and refurbishment.

In 2004 he turned to TV, where he has made a name for himself as one of the most successful and popular presenters of the small screen. Outspoken and confident in his knowledge and beliefs, George regularly comments in the press about the UK’s housing crisis and ways which is can be reduced, in the context of empty homes, and environmental awareness and strategic town planning.
