The full international panel of key representatives, critics, and practitioners has now been confirmed for the latest And The Winner Is event: Awards: What Are They Good For?. Glenn Howells is the latest name to join the panel, who will question, and be questioned on, the effect prize giving has upon the architectural profession and what gets built – asking who really wins, how, and why?
