Sustainable Practice of the Year Architype

摘要

Architype was the clear winner in this category, picking up the AJ100 Sustainable Practice of the Year award for the third time. Judges felt that sustainability was in Architype's DNA, with the practice leading 'across the board in breadth and depth because sustainability permeates the ethos of the practice'. Architype presented eight projects across a range of building types, each demonstrating its evidence-based approach. Particularly noteworthy in terms of design is the Imperial War Museum Paper Store in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, which suggests that the practice is starting to develop an architectural language on a par with its sustainable approach.
