Competition / ARCHITECT Magazine's R+D Awards / ARCHITECT Magazine

Have an industry-changing design approach, research pursuit, product, or technology to share? To celebrate the state of the art—and the processes that made them possible—ARCHITECT invites design firms, manufacturers, researchers, students, startups, and inventors in all building-related disciplines to enter its 14th annual R+D Awards. This distinct program honors advances in architecture at every scale, from novel design and construction solutions to high-performance building systems and details, newfound building typologies, and go-to products and digital tools. Instead of focusing just on the polished results, the R+D Awards also values the rigor and persistence behind the solutions. Start today by registering your entries online—all it takes is an abstract (200 words maximum) accompanied by support materials (20 pages maximum). Your entries will be reviewed by jurors who straddle the architecture, technology, and innovation space. The winners will be published in the July 2020 print issue of ARCHITECT and on our website. Register your submission online by the early bird deadline of April 17, 2020, and pay a $175 processing fee for the first entry, and $95 for each subsequent entry. After that date, the fee increases to $225, with each additional entry at $145. Full-time faculty members, students, and researchers at academic institutions pay a reduced processing fee of $95 per entry for both the early bird and regular deadlines. All submissions must be complete and finalized by Friday, May 8, 2020, 11:59 p.m. EDT. For complete rules and regulations, visit rdawards.com. See past R+D Awards winners at our online archive.
