Architect of the Year 2007

The presentation of the new award ‘Architect of the Year 2007’ took place during an animated gathering in the Dutch architecture institute in Rotterdam last Saturday 07.07.07. This award has been established in concurrence with the 10th anniversary of the launch of ArchitectenWerk and aims to highlight – alongside the already established high architectonic qualities of their realized works – the professionalism and innovative qualities of Dutch architectural firms to clients, the press and the public.

These categories were business management, sustainability, innovation, knowledge development and client friendliness. UNStudio won three of the five categories, and was named the overall winner of the award.
