AIA UK DESIGN AWARDS INSIGHTS NIGHT AT THE CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK
On 20 May, at the opening night of Clerkenwell Design Week 2025, Iris Ceramica Group will host a special event at London ICG Gallery in collaboration with AIA UK, celebrating the winning projects of their “Excellence in Design Awards”.
The long-standing partnership between Iris Ceramica Group and the American Institute of Architects – UK Chapter continues with an evening dedicated to design quality, innovation, and sustainability—core values shared and promoted through the Group’s active support of the competition. For the 2025 edition, the Awards introduced entirely new categories and, for the first time, recognised only projects completed within the United Kingdom, further highlighting the growing relevance of British architecture on the international stage.
The jury, chaired by Alison Brooks (Founding Principal & Creative Director, Alison Brooks Architects), featured leading voices in architecture and engineering: DaeWha Kang (Founder, DaeWha Kang Design), Matthias Schuler (Founder & Managing Partner, TransSolar Climate Engineering), Rob Partridge (Design Director, AKT II Engineering), Ellie Stathaki (Architecture & Environment Director, Wallpaper Magazine), and Margherita Giannoni (UK PR & Communication Manager, Iris Ceramica Group).
To mark this special occasion, Federica Minozzi, CEO of Iris Ceramica Group, will personally present the ICG Award—a prize reserved for the project that best embodies the Group’s core values of Sustainability, Innovation, and Excellence in Quality.
