As in previous years, Wienerberger will also produce its Brick Book to support the awards. The 2020 version will include 50 shortlisted projects, including the winners of the awards, as well as, five essays by international authors. The book puts the spotlight on clay building materials, which are timeless and a perfect fit for forward-looking and innovative architecture. Speaking on the awards, Dave Henry, Head of Sales, Construction, from Wienerberger UK said: “We’re delighted to be still going ahead with the awards this year, despite the issues presented by Covid-19. Being able to host the event digitally means we’re still able to recognise and praise these fantastic projects and it’s great to see two UK nominees in there too. We look forward to the event in the autumn and also to the launch of our Brick 2020 book.” Exact dates for the event will be announced in due course.
