Emerging Woman Architect of the Year: Julia King

摘要

Sole practitioner and PhD candidate Julia King has won the prestigious AJ Emerging Woman Architect of the Year Award. The researcher and designer, who is setting up practices in New Delhi and London, saw off fierce competition to scoop the award for architects and architectural designers who have been in their current role for less than five years. King, whose work focuses on the future of urban development, was described by the judges as 'truly inspiring'. The British/ Venezuelan national has already designed and built a sewer for 322 low-income houses in New Delhi and is regenerating the Taj East drain, which runs through slum areas near the Taj Mahal.
