R+D Awards
BRIEF
Are you revolutionizing the process, product, or practice of architecture? ARCHITECT magazine’s annual R+D Awards program honors the research and technologies that have advanced the profession at every scale—from design strategies and building products to fabrication methods, installations, software, and materials. Winning entries will be published in the July issue of ARCHITECT with expanded coverage online at architectmagazine.com.
ELIGIBILITY
The R+D Awards program is open to architects, engineers, fabricators, manufacturers, researchers, faculty, and students worldwide. Full-time faculty and students are eligible to receive a discounted registration rate.
Entries must have been in active development or completed after Jan. 1, 2015 (in-progress work is acceptable). Product submissions must be currently available on the U.S. commercial market. To see the wide range of submissions that the R+D Awards program receives, visit our archive of past winners.
CATEGORIES
Awards will be judged in three categories, reflecting the different stages in the R+D process:
Prototype: For entries that are in the experimental and testing phase.
Production: For entries that are currently available on the commercial market.
Application: For entries that demonstrate a novel use of a technology or product.
Entries will be judged for their documented R+D methodology, impact on the building industry, and potential to advance the aesthetic, environmental, and social value of architecture. Digital technologies such as software, modeling programs, mobile apps, and analysis tools are welcomed.
