About the AAI Awards
Ireland’s longest running awards programme, the AAI Awards are the only internationally peer reviewed architecture awards in Ireland that publicly publish the critical discourse which takes place among the assessors adjudicating the awards. As a consequence, the awards give the public an unprecedented insight into the critical conversations that shape the quality of our built environment and future heritage.
Historically these awards have been the first recognize the emerging talents that have gone on to become the established names of an increasingly sophisticated and internationally recognised culture of architecture in Ireland.
Since 2000, a 5-person jury comprising of an architectural critic, a foreign architect, two Irish architects and a distinguished non-architect have judged the awards. The composition of the jury ensures a balance between an international perspective and an understanding of the particular context in which Irish architects work.
A part of this exhibition documenting the design process, construction and inhabitation of this years Downes Medal Award Winning building was funded by the Arts Council of Ireland’s Engaging with Architecture Scheme.
