Autodesk Sponsors 2008 Young Architect Awards

Supported by Building Design magazine and part of the Architect of the Year Awards, the Young Architect category aims to celebrate and highlight young practices and up-and-coming talent in architecture from around the world. The award, which has been running for ten years, draws entries from dynamic practices who are successfully challenging architectural design traditions in new and exciting ways. The winning practice will receive a prize of £5,000.

The long listed entries will also be taking part in an exclusive architectural exhibition throughout October at New London Architecture at The Building Centre. The winner will then be announced at the Architect of the Year Awards ceremony, to be held at the London Hilton on 30th October 2008, in the presence of over 1,000 architects and construction professionals.

Autodesk AEC director Northern Europe, Pete Baxter says: “Autodesk is fully committed to supporting the next generation of architects who will ultimately be responsible for the future of our built environment. By providing them with industry-leading design solutions, we hope to encourage vision and innovation in building design. We are excited to play a part in the Young Architect of the Year Awards and looking forward to seeing the inspiring ideas and work currently being undertaken by young practices in the UK.”

Amanda Baillieu, editor of BD, adds, “BD is delighted that Autodesk is supporting YAYA this year. The award is hotly contested and the only one in the UK that recognizes young, architectural talent. We look forward to working with Autodesk in finding this year's winner.”
