The editors of ARCHITECTURAL RECORD are currently inviting submissions. Architecture and design is a top priority for leaders of business, government, and industry looking to rebrand, boost productivity, and attract customers. The Good Design Is Good Business (GDGB) awards program honors the architects and clients who best utilize design to achieve such strategic objectives. Winning projects will be selected by an editorial jury and published in the June 2018 issue of Architectural Record.
ELIGIBILITY
Entry is open to any architect registered in the U.S. or abroad.
Projects must be built within the last 36 months and inhabited.
They may be new construction or renovated and adaptive reuse projects.
Each must be quantifiable in terms of the value of the design for the client, and may be submitted by either the client or the architect.
Eligible project categories include: corporate, commercial (retail, hospitality, development), public, cultural, and institutional.
