The Architectural League Prize is an annual competition, series of lectures, and exhibition organized by the Architectural League and its Young Architects + Designers committee

The Architectural League’s call for entries this year was titled “ReSource”, asking, “In what ways is our discipline proving itself resourceful in the face of these challenges? How have young practices redefined themselves, from new models of professional practice, to emergent theoretical approaches or techniques of construction? Are architects and designers by necessity becoming better at sourcing materials and techniques to meet both a heightened environmental consciousness –looking ‘beyond the green’– and the current economic sobriety? Or are they turning to models outside of the discipline for sources of inspiration, novelty, and change?”

The winners, as selected by a jury consisting of Matilda McQuaid, Calvin Tsao, Billie Tsien, Dan Wood, and Alejandro Zaera-Polo, is as follows:

Jason Austin and Aleksandr Mergold
Marc Frohn and Mario Rojas Toledo
Michael Loverich and Antonio Torres
Emily Abruzzo and Gerald Bodziak
Eric Schuldenfrei and Marisa Yiu
Keith VanDerSys
