AT Awards: 2024 winners
CIAT is thrilled to announce the winners for this year’s AT Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievements in Architectural Technology from students and practitioners.
Presented by CIAT President Eddie Weir and hosted by Matt Allwright on 25 October at Christ Church Spitalfields, the Awards were attended by trailblazers and go-getters from across the built environment sector.
The ceremony platformed Architectural Technology through the prism of aspiration, our community of students and early career AT professionals, with video clips of its members talking about their goals and hopes for the future peppered across the event. It was a throughline that resonated throughout, as each award-winning project showcased the versatility and essentiality of AT, both in practise and as an academic discipline.
