BD Online Architects of the Year Awards

Yesterday, BD Online has announced the winners of their annual Architect of the Year Awards for established and young Architects, with Allies and Morrison emerging as the overall winner and Carmody Groarke earning the YAYA (Young Architect of the Year Award).
"Unlike most architectural prizes, the Architect of the Year Award is not given to a single building but to a body of work, with the judges rewarding practices who consistently raise the bar not just with one great project but several, and with more on the way."

The Young Architect of the Year Award (YAYA), "now in its 10th year, which is a reminder to more established firms that there is a wealth of talent coming up behind."

The list of the winners is:

Young Architect of the Year Award - Carmody Groarke
