Architectural reviewSummary: To mark twenty years of the Emerging Architecture awards, The Architectural Review commissioned independent London-based maker Henry Stringer to design and make ‘two beautiful objects’ to be awarded to the AREA winner and the recipient of the Peter Davey Prize – an award inaugurated last year to celebrate AR Editor and Emerging Architecture founder Peter Davey.
In celebration of twenty years of the Emerging Architecture awards, the AR has commissioned bespoke terrazzo trophies to be awarded to this year’s winners. We lift the lid on this process.

The brief was short and open – the only restraints were that they were to be a pair of objects, around 300 by 150mm n size, and the words ‘AREA’ or ‘Emerging Architecture awards’ had to appear in some way. We set the challenge that there should be some reference to the idea of a young or developing architect emerging onto the international stage in some way.
In collaboration with Henry, the design evolved: sketches were sent back and forth, the ‘AREA’ logo growing in size and becoming part of the terrazzo pattern rather than the original vision for a small discrete logo.
