WAN Awards Call for Entries:Facade of the Year Award 2014

Deadline For Submissions 30 June 2014

The registration deadline to this year's WAN Façade of the Year Award is almost upon us, so we're making a final call for entries. The closing date for receipt of entries is 30 June 2014, so there's still time to enter and see how the WAN AWARDS can boost both your profile and your firm's market position.

Arguably one of the most important elements in today's commercial buildings, facades have come to define modern structures in terms of aesthetic, technological and environmental performance. Always a popular category within our programme, we're searching for projects that use the latest design techniques to take this transformational building element into new and exciting realms.

Recognising the creative talent behind the façades will be Renato Benedetti, Partner at McDowell + Benedetti; Steve Mudie, Façade Specialist Partner at Alinea; Bruce Nicol of Dow Corning; Founder of Eric Parry Architects, Eric Parry; and architect and consulting engineer Professor Werner Sobek.

WAN Awards published a personal profile on the last year's winner Guy Hollaway about the importance of the façade and how architecture is advancing in terms of technology and sustainability.

WAN Awards will be profiling three more projects from the list of entries into this award. To be in with a chance of having your project selected, please send your entry with a short description about “What's behind your façade” to Francesca Maw.
