Here are the 'DIRTY' winners of the 2024 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers

The Architectural League of New York just announced the 2024 winners of its annual League Prize for Young Architects + Designers. Now in its 43rd edition, the contest that is open to those practicing within ten years of completing their education, has seen past winners such as Meejin Yoon and Steven Holl rise to international prominence while launching the careers of hundreds of others across the country. The theme for 2024 is ‘Dirty.’ The League's brief explained: “Dirt is matter: it is the soil, the ground, and the earth. But when dirt makes things dirty, they become unclean. To be dirty is not only a physical state of being; it is a moral position, as “dirty” subjects are understood to be vulgar, illicit, unpleasant, and improper. If cleanliness is next to godliness, dirtiness is debased. [...] We prompt designers to expose the forces that shape design practice, projects, modes of representation, and communication. It’s time to dish the dirt… How do you reject sanitized ways of working with built, natural, and political environments? Show us your dirty ways and dirty things.” Winners will have their work exhibited online over the course of the next year. Take a look at each of the 2024 recipients:Lola Ben-Alon of The Natural Materials Lab, Columbia University GSAPP (New York, NY)Read the full post on Bustler
