Winners of the 2021 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers, 'Housekeeping'

Six emerging architecture practices with offices in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada have been announced as the winners of this year's Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers. Since 1981, the program aims to promote excellence among early-career architects and designers who graduated within the past ten years.

Under the 2021 competition theme of "Housekeeping," the brief asked entrants to contemplate how "stay-at-home orders have prompted many of us to see our domestic settings anew, and to consider the various ways in which we 'keep house.'"

The jury included Tatiana Bilbao, Peggy Deamer, Fritz Haeg, and Victor J. Jones in addition to a committee of past winners: Ivi Diamantopoulou, Cyrus Peñarroyo, and Alison Von Glinow.

Tei Carpenter of Agency—Agency, New York, NY and Toronto, Canada

Rodrigo Escandón Cesarman and Ricardo Roxo Matias of APRDELESP, Mexico City, Mexico

Germane David Barnes of Studio Barnes, Miami, FL

Liz Gálvez of Office e.g., Houston, TX

Ilse Cárdenas, Regina de Hoyos, Diego Escamilla, and Juan Luis Rivera of Palma, Mexico City and Sayulita, Mexico

The announcement will be followed by a hybrid onsite/online exhibition as well as lectures and Q&A sessions with the recipients launching on June 15.
