‘The introduction of the people’s choice awards is a response to the challenges we face in 2020. As such, we would like everyone to be thinking more about architecture and the places that surround us following a period of lockdown restrictions,’ she says. ‘I encourage everyone to vote for their favourite projects.’
2020 will also mark the first time that audiences will be able to watch the awards ceremony, previously reserved for members only, via a free YouTube livestream.
