A record number of entries has been narrowed to a shortlist of 112 exemplary brick projects
A shortlist of 112 entries has been unveiled for the 2019 Brick Awards, with the winners in 15 categories due to be announced on 13 November at the Royal Lancaster London. This year attracted a record of 349 entries, and the task of shortlisting fell to a panel architects, planners, specialist brickwork contractors, developers and other brick experts (see bottom of page).
“Shortlisting down from almost 350 submissions was not an easy process as the judges carefully considered a range of place, design and detailed criteria within each category. In the end we managed to select those schemes that we considered from the submission material to best respond to the high standards set by the Brick Awards. The judges are really looking forward to assessing the shortlisted schemes through visits at the next stage. The range and depth of the submissions this year has remained strong”, says head judge Hilary Satchwell of Tibbalds.
With three nominations in this year’s shortlist is The Interlock by Bureau de Change Architects. Staffordshire Blue Clay bricks provide a distinctive and idiosyncratic facade for the five-storey mixed-use building in London. Judges were impressed by the intricate detailing of the facade of 5000 bespoke bricks.
Another multi-nominated project is Cambridge Central Mosque by Marks Barfield Architects. Intended as a spiritual and cultural centre not only for Muslims but also the wider community, the project is integrated into and, respectful of its neighbourhood. The building was praised for its stunning realisation and the certainty with which it delivers what it set out to achieve – a British mosque designed for the twenty-first century. The cladding reflects both local vernacular materials and Islamic sacred traditions, with the protruding headers used to create geometric brickwork patterns that reflect Arabic calligraphy.
