Copper in Architecture Awards

Copper in Architecture sponsors and organises the biennial European Copper in Architecture Awards which recognise excellence in design for European projects incorporating copper roofing, cladding or other elements.

Call for Entries for European Copper in Architecture Awards

The 2009 European Copper in Architecture Awards were officially launched on 1st October at the Copper Development Association's 75th anniversary event in London.

The Awards have developed in recent years from a purely UK based competition to one which recognises great architecture across Europe. To reflect this change the separate design awards for UK and Europe will be combined to be one design award.
