The inaugural Brent Design Awards will celebrate excellence in great buildings and places, within the culturally diverse borough of Brent. As a new awards programme, it will have strong community focus, with a People’s Choice Award and local representation on the judging panel, including young people.
The programme will shine a light on the exciting projects making a positive contribution to the built environment and showcase the wide range of development happening in the borough. From large scale, mixed-use and residential developments to small projects, public space, landscape culture and heritage, the Brent Design Awards will champion the value of high-quality design and how this can improve local people’s quality of life.
