16 NEWS AWARDS Brick Awards 2018 shortlist announced
The 2018 Brick Awards shortlist has been announced, featuring a record number of entries with 332 projects across 15 categories.
The awards are now in their 42nd year, showcasing what the organisers the Brick Development Association say are “the very best examples of clay brick in the UK’s built environment,” The BDA commented that the awards “celebrate myriad bold and interesting architecture,” and that this year’s shortlist shows “an extraordinary calibre of projects”.
The judging panel which compiled the shortlist of 110 projects consists of a panel of experienced architects, planners, specialist brickwork contractors, developers and “other design and brick experts”. The regeneration of the former BBC
Television Centre in London has been shortlisted in three separate categories – Large Housing Development, Innovation and Commercial, for using brick to “seamlessly link all elements of the project’s construction”. Judges agreed that the final outcome “was a stunning display of traditionally laid brickwork alongside modern methods of construction encompassing large format precast panels and lightweight brick slip cladding”. In the Refurbishment category, the
former house of J.M.W. Turner made it through to the inspection stage of the judging process – a small, Grade II listed, early 19th century villa designed by the painter himself. “It had deteriorated over the years, but thanks to a clever use of original and new brick the building has been restored to its former glory,” said the judges.
They also shortlisted Ouseburn Road in Newcastle, in the Small Housing Development category – two houses for a pair of downsizing neighbours. Both provide modest accommodation on a restricted budget in the back gardens of standard terrace houses. While their construction is traditional, “innovation comes from turning this ordinary scenario into architecture which enhances the user experience and contributes positively to the urban environment”. Hilary Satchwell, director, Tibbalds and head judge of the Brick Awards
2018, commented on the awards: “What is great about the Brick Awards is how they can be for both craftsmanship and innovation. They are about architecture in its broadest sense, and they consider a great range of building types, locations and densities.”
Following the rigorous shortlisting process, judges will now visit every

shortlisted site, assessing the buildings on criteria including planning; design and quality of construction. Applications range from classic clay building blocks and facing bricks to the creative use of ceramic facade panels, roof tiles and clay pavers. The winners will be announced at the
Brick Awards ceremony on 8 November at London’s Park Lane Hilton Hotel.
