Architeam Cooperative, an organization representing small architecture practices, has announced the finalists of its 2020 Architeam Awards.
The 130 entries across five primary categories were judged by a jury comprising chair Kate Fitzgerald (Whispering), Norman Day (Norman Day + Associates), Kate Fitzpatrick (Auhaus), Tamsin O’Neil (Green Magazine), John Ellway (John Ellway Architect), Andy Fergus and Rachel Neeson (Neeson Murcutt and Neille).
The finalists will be displayed in a virtual 3D gallery designed by Architeam members. “ArchiTeam has always looked at things differently,” said director Jamie Sormann. “Our members are small practices, who know how to combine open-source tools with cutting-edge design software to deliver outstanding design, so we are always going to be a little unpredictable, in the best way.
“We saw the challenges presented by 2020, namely the loss of the in-person exhibition, and turned them into an opportunity to increase accessibility; and have some fun in the process.”
The virtual gallery will be live from 28 October and winners will be announced on 11 November.
