Launched in 1999, the AR Emerging Architecture awards grant early recognition to young designers and celebrates the architectural stars of tomorrow. Established in response to the heavy-hitting Gold Medals, Pritzkers, and other lifetime achievement awards, Emerging Architecture rewards a promising portfolio of work and propels young talent onto the international stage early in their careers.

Three past winners and finalists judged the awards this year: Indian architect and founder of sP+a, Sameep Padora; British engineer and architect Maria Smith, currently director of sustainability at Buro Happold; and Manuel Aires Mateus, Portuguese architect and founder of Lisbon-based Aires Mateus e Associados.

The AR Emerging Architecture awards are sponsored by VMZinc and Scale Careers.
