Despite gloomy forecast for construction industry, aluminium continues to gain momentum as the specifiers choice for new and refurbishment projects.
Entry to the Awards which will be presented at the East Midlands Conference Centre on 22nd March 2007 is free and documentation has been kept to a minimum making it easy for a busy practice to make more than one entry.
The organisers claim that completing the form and burning the relevant information to CD should take less than one hour.
Justin Ratcliffe, Chief Executive of the Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) and the organisers of the event suggests, "We would like every active architectural practice to quickly review any refurbishment or renovation projects that they have completed over the last couple of years and enter any of the projects which make good use of aluminium in the construction" .
Applicable projects need to use either extruded, cast or rolled aluminium, must have been completed since 1st January 2005 and used within an existing building structure.
The Awards are a European Aluminium Association initiative which is intended to allow architectural practices and building engineers to show off some of the innovative uses of aluminium in construction and how the application has benefited the use of the building and the environment.
Entry forms can be obtained by downloading from the CAB website.
