The Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers is an annual portfolio competition open to young architects and designers ten years or less out of an undergraduate or master\u2019s degree program. As one of North America\u2019s most prestigious awards, the program exemplifies the League\u2019s longstanding commitment to identifying and nurturing the development of talented young architects and designers.<\/p>\n

Given the constraints of social engagement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year\u2019s League Prize program will be presented entirely online. Winners have created digital installations of their work for an online exhibition<\/a>, rather than the annual exhibition in the galleries of the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons School of Design at The New School. They will deliver streamed lectures followed by a live Q&A session (see below).<\/p>\n

As defined by this year\u2019s committee, Value<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is a slippery construct in architecture, leading to thoughts of numbers, colors, measurement, worth, and ethics. Value can be personal or shared, analytical or sensorial. It suggests economic and aesthetic highs and lows and hints at the ideological urgencies that undergird and influence the production of architecture. In its many forms, value demonstrates a stance toward the wider world, influencing how we act, sense, imagine, and create, both collectively and individually.<\/p>\n

In a time of political and social precariousness when all cultural value sets seem publicly permissible, this year\u2019s Architectural League Prize competition asked entrants to consider how notions of value operate in their work. How are values mediated by the processes of design? What are the discursive contexts, forms of representation, and\/or spaces of action in which these values manifest themselves?<\/p>\n

The winners of the 2020 prize are:<\/p>\n
