Architecture awards re-imagined to adapt to current situation

The 2020 ArchiTeam Awards and Exhibition have been redesigned to be completely virtual, working with members to totally re-imagine the awards exhibition, in an innovative and unique way.

ArchiTeam CEO, Phoebe La Gerche-Wijsman says 2020 has been a tough year for architects, but member companies have been uniquely placed to respond and adapt to these times.

The public will navigate through the virtual space which has been designed by a selection of ArchiTeam members. Built using the same CAD programs architects use to design buildings, the 3D models can be navigated using the Google Street View API – a familiar interface for most.

allenges 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.”

“This year we are beyond excited by the calibre of work,” says La Gerche-Wijsman. “The new format of the awards ensures our exhibition will be seen by more of the public than ever before.”
