Bogorodsk The Brick Awards is an independent award designed to celebrate some of the world’s best brick architecture. Hosted Wienerberger (The World’s Largest clay based building material manufacturer) Brick Awards is a competition that takes place every two years. Out of all submissions worldwide, an independent panel of architecture journalists and critics narrows down the number to a total of 50 projects, which are nominated for the Wienerberger Brick Award in different categories.
