Foster + Partners won awards for the ‘International Practice of the Year’, ‘Sustainability Initiative of the Year’ and the regional award for the South East and London. The practice was also placed as the third-largest overall. The AJ100 Awards recognise the achievements of the largest 100 architectural practices in the UK based on survey results; the ‘International Practice’ and ‘Sustainability Initiative of the Year’ awards are presented at the jury’s discretion.
The judges described Foster + Partners as ‘a clear and outright winner for breadth of coverage, for entering into new markets and for being a global brand.’
Mouzhan Majidi, Chief Executive of Foster + Partners said: “I am delighted that Foster + Partners has been recognised in the AJ100’s Awards. Significantly, the past twelve months have been the practice’s most successful ever. During that period we won thirteen international competitions and forty-one design awards – a record for us. We opened offices in New York, Istanbul, Madrid and Abu Dhabi; and we broke into new markets such as India, Vietnam and Hungary. Although the challenges we face as architects are becoming more complex, the future has never been more exciting.”
