After Day 2 spent at King’s Cross and Camden, the London 2022 Conference attendees transferred to the City for a special evening devoted to design excellence courtesy of AIA International.
The Elizabeth Line – the not quite tube, not quite train line that opened in late May 2022 – formed a convenient link across London to 100 Liverpool Street, designed by Hopkins Architects.
Given the night’s pouring rain, the new shopping centre’s dedicated, covered entrance to the Line was particularly welcoming, while the spectacular street atrium was overwhelming – a fitting backdrop for Storey’s hospitality.
Presentation – ‘AIA International Design Awards’ / Christine Bruckner, Steven Miller
The Conference was delighted to welcome attendees and invited guests to the ninth annual AIA International Design Awards. The awards recognised outstanding projects in multiple categories - Architecture, Interior Architecture, Urban Design and Unbuilt. Winners were eligible for further recognition for combining exceptional design with sustainability, in the form of the Sustainable Future Award. A new Inclusive Design Excellence Award to honour projects which excelled in this important area was also introduced.
