They were \u201cmaster builders\u201d, a figure of great importance during Renaissance times who would oversee construction of grand cathedrals, mansions and castles across Europe and beyond. The idea of an architect as a singular, technical genius solidified during those times, and has persisted until very recently through another moniker, arguably architecture\u2019s most overused buzzword: \u201cStarchitect\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, things are beginning to change. Thanks to the dynamism of today&#8217;s innovative design teams, the architectural profession is starting to release itself from the shackles of those dated clich\u00e9s. Architecture is increasingly being recognized as the collaborative field it\u2019s always been, a fact reflected by the incredible response to Architizer\u2019s major new awards program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Accepting entries until <strong>December 11th<\/strong>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/firmawards.architizer.com\/?utm_source=content&amp;utm_medium=architizer_blog&amp;utm_campaign=late-entry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>A+Firm Awards<\/strong><\/a> has been launched to celebrate not the Starchitects, but the star teams that combine to make great architecture a reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"c-button c-button--default customize-unpreviewable\" href=\"http:\/\/architizerfirmawards.com\/?utm_source=content&amp;utm_medium=architizer_blog&amp;utm_campaign=late-entry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enter the A+Firm Awards<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, large firms had something of a monopoly on architectural media, when Architects\u2019 Journal and Architect Magazine were about the only options available for architects to showcase their work. This all began to change with the advent of new architectural media platforms like Architizer. Architect Chris Precht, the cofounder of talented studio PRECHT (formerly Penda), reflected on this evolution when discussing the A+Awards back in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66179\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66179\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-66179 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1464983152362574fe9bacbabf.jpg?resize=625%2C369&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1464983152362574fe9bacbabf.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1464983152362574fe9bacbabf.jpg?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1464983152362574fe9bacbabf.jpg?resize=400%2C236&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 368px, (max-width: 625px) 625px, 1140px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chris Precht accepts the Emerging Firm of the Year Award on behalf of penda at the 2016 A+Awards.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I still was a student, it seemed that there was this distance between us and the star architects that was really, really huge,\u201d said Precht. \u201cThey were very difficult to reach; they were very difficult to get in touch with. I think that, for our generation, the age at which you can be a known architect is getting much younger, thanks to new technology and through media publications. Young offices now have a chance to somehow catch up to the elite in architecture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The A+Firm Awards was introduced to break down these barriers even further. With award categories separated by size, small and medium firms around the world have an opportunity to be recognized on an equal footing with large, global practices. Each winner will see their projects in print in a new book by Phaidon, gaining that sought after \u201cin-print\u201d status that was once the exclusive domain of firms with hundreds of employees and a mega marketing budget.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66185\" style=\"width: 1463px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66185\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66185 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?resize=1453%2C959&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1453\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?w=1453&amp;ssl=1 1453w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C676&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C507&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Young-Architects-1-1.jpg?resize=400%2C264&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-66185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Left: Chris and Fei Precht at the 2016 A+Awards Gala; right: Tel Aviv apartment building, rendering courtesy Studio Precht<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The program also aims to break architecture out of its geographic echo chamber, celebrating innovative firms from diverse regions around the world.
