The Brick Industry Association (BIA) has announced the winners of the 2022 Brick in Architecture Awards, an international design competition featuring projects that utilize fired-clay brick innovatively and masterfully.
Introducing a new “thin brick” category, the 45 winning projects span across the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, and Germany. The winners include nine in the “best-in-class” category, 10 gold, eight silver, 17 bronze, and an overall craftsmanship award.
“Brick can create virtually anything as an inherently sustainable material with limitless design options, superior durability, fire resistance, and energy savings,” says BIA president and CEO, Ray Leonhard.
