At the intersection of architectural innovation and social responsibility lies the Inspire Future Generations (IFG) Awards, an initiative by Thornton Education Trust (TET), established in 2021. It celebrates projects and practices redefining the realm of architectural engagement. These awards embody the transformative power of architecture, highlighting its potential to inspire, educate, and enrich the lives of future generations. In particular TET celebrates the engagement of children and young people in architecture and the built environment from a range of practitioners.
From sparking creativity in young minds to fostering inclusivity and sustainability, the IFG Awards showcase architects who are not only designing spaces but also shaping the future. With winners like Poor Collective, We Made That, and Freehaus, these awards are a testament to the profound impact architecture can have on communities and young architects alike.
The Award categories include: Social Value, Community Engagement, Diversity in Action, One off activity youth/child, Long-term activity youth/child, Future Education/Higher Education, Mentoring Future Generations, Educational Collaborations, Research (pedagogy or practice based), Online/Technology/Materials/Resources, Built Environment Practice, Local Authorities, Non-profit organisation (UK/international) and individual of the year.
The deadline for award submissions is the 20th October 2023.
If you have worked on projects that have engaged children and young people in the built environment, or work in a practice that champions inspiring future generations, we could love to hear from you.
