The Association for Industrial Archaeology [Alliance member] has launched its awards for Best Creative Re-Use of an Industrial Building.
The awards are for building conversions that strike that tricky balance between the practicality of their new function and the readability of their old. Projects that demonstrate a viable and sustainable long-term use for buildings at risk are particularly encouraged to apply. There are two award categories: (a) project led by a not-for-profit developer (‘community focussed’) or (b) project led by a private sector owner or developer (‘commercial’).
More information about the awards, including the assessment criteria and a downloadable application form, can be found here.
The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2017.
