Recognising architects who have raised the standard of architectural practice through exceptional firm leadership, project management, or technical mastery — advancing the science and art of building.

Leadership in Architecture

Celebrating architects who have led ABIA or a related professional organisation with distinction — shaping the direction of the profession and earning the respect of their peers over a sustained period.

Object Four

For architects who have placed their skills in service of the public good — through government, planning, conservation, transportation, or civic development that has meaningfully improved the built environment and lives of people in Antigua and Barbuda.

Object Five
