Dear Architects,
Wish you a happy and prosperous New Year 2025 and a warm welcome to you for the 35th JKArchitect of the Year Awards!
The JK Architect of the Year Award has always focused on appreciating designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally conscious and user-friendly. I want to thank you for all the help and support you have shown to make this platform what it is today and I am committed to continuing the legacy of JK AYA to ensure that these architectural achievements receive the recognition they deserve.
Every design project is unique and comes with its challenges, taking care of all the factors like climate, by-laws and user requirements can be a painful job when working on a strict timeline but despite all these hurdles, you navigate through endless pitfalls to produce buildings and infrastructure that range from highly practical to truly breathtaking enormity.
Now the moment has come again to recognize those distinguished bodies of work and their creators who continue to drive architecture forward. The 35th annual edition of the JK AYA Awards is now open for participation. We invite submissions from architects and designers from India and 10 Neighboring Countries. We welcome you to make this yearly celebration a huge success once again.
