The “JUST” winners of the 2019 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers

By Justine Testado|

Since 1981, the Architectural League of New York has invited young architects and designers to submit their theoretical or built work, which can be executed in any medium, to the Architectural League Prize Competition. The portfolio competition carries a legacy in contemporary architecture in that many now-well-known architects received the award early in their careers — like Billie Tsien, Steven Holl, Neil Denari, Frida Escobedo Lopez, Lisa Iwamoto and Craig Scott, and several more. North America-based designers who are out of school no more than 10 years are invited to submit their work.

Entrants had to consider how the 2019 theme of “JUST” applies to their approach to architectural practice, whether that's through experimental research, design advocacy, or advancing speculative and applied techniques in the discipline. According to the Architectural League, “JUST explores architectural action with the understanding that a multiplicity of coexisting and contradictory attitudes may be constructive, liberating, and justified’’. 

After evaluating the submissions, the jury selected six talented recipients as the prize winners. In addition to receiving a $2,000 cash prize, the winners will deliver a lecture and exhibit their work at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at The New School starting in June.

Here are the winners!

“Founded in Atlanta in 2009 by Jennifer Bonner, MALL has recently expanded to Boston.

“Mira Hasson Henry founded Los Angeles-based Henry Architecture in 2016. The practice draws on common building elements — including windows, cladding, and eaves — to explore topics like inclusion and identity. Through installations, performances, models, wallpaper, and photography, Henry examines the possibilities of different modes of architectural representation. She is currently a design faculty and DID coordinator at the Southern California Institute of Architecture.”

“Rachel G. Barnard founded Young New Yorkers (YNY) in 2012 as a restorative justice project providing art programs to 16- and 17-year-olds prosecuted as adults by the New York state criminal justice system. By participating in court-mandated art programs, these young people (the program now includes participants up to the age of 25) are able to avoid spending time in jail, incurring other adult criminal justice sanctions, or having a lifelong criminal record. Since its inception, over 1000 participants have successfully graduated from the program.”
