ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND AWARDS 13
The AAI Awards were established in 1986 as "an annual award scheme for excellence in architectural design". The intentions of the Awards are:
- to encourage higher standards of architecture throughout the country
- to recognise projects which make a contribution to Irish architecture
- to inform the public of emerging directions in contemporary architecture
The Awards are open to architects practising in Ireland and Irish architects practising in their own right abroad, submitting current projects and buildings.
Entries are judged by a panel of five assessors - a foreign assessor, two invited Irish assessors, a representative of the previous year's Award winners, and a distinguished non-architect. This year's foreign assessor was Alberto Campo Baeza.
The results are exhibited and published annually as New Irish Architecture. The publication contains assessors' commentary as well as more extensive project descriptions than listed above. Volumes 8, 9, 11 and 12 are available in bookshops or direct from Gandon Editions.
