This year’s shortlists for the Moira Gemmill and MJ Long Prizes bring together architects under 45 from around the world and promote excellence in practice in the UK

We are delighted to announce the architects shortlisted for this year’s Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture and MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice.

The Moira Gemmill Prize shortlist recognises a bright future for designers under the age of 45 who are leading their own practices. This year, the shortlist features architects based in Portugal, the US, India and South Africa, working locally and internationally on built work, research, exhibitions and in education.

The Moira Gemmill Prize shortlist comprises:

Ana Baptista, co-founder of Colectivo Mel, based in Portugal
Rania Ghosn, founding partner of Design Earth, based in the US
Swati Janu, founder of Social Design Collaborative, based in India
Sumayya Vally, principal of Counterspace, based in South Africa

This year’s shortlist shows there isn’t a single kind of architect, but myriad ways to practise: uncovering and interpreting layers of history, imagining speculative projects to tackle environmental concerns, advocating for the rights of marginalised groups, building installations, making maps and animations, evidencing the presence of toxic mine waste, preserving social ties. ‘Moving away from conventional practice, these architects make space for dialogue and expose new sites of action,’ editor of The Architectural Review Manon Mollard commented.

The MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice 2022, named in memory of inspirational architect MJ Long, celebrates architects who are excelling in practice. In recognition of the London home of the awards, the prize considers UK-based architects working for UK-based practices, and is judged on an overall body of work with an emphasis on a recently completed project.

The MJ Long Prize shortlist comprises:

Sophie Mitchell of Nissen Richards Studio, for Sutton Hoo, Suffolk
Fiona Monkman of Islington Architects, for Centurion Close, London
Hannah Stringer of AOC, for the National Archives, London
Anne Wynne of DSDHA, for the National Youth Theatre, London

The MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice is now in its third year. The projects on this year’s shortlist include high-quality council housing, the sensitive redevelopment of a brutalist archive, a beautifully judged rework of the visitor experience at an archaeological site and the inventive reorganisation and new public face for a youth theatre. ‘The projects shortlisted are both innovative and inspiring,’ Frances Williams, Technical Editor and Deputy Architecture Editor at the Architects’ Journal said, ‘and truly set a precedent for the future of our industry.’

The Moira Gemmill and MJ Long Prizes will be judged by a jury including:

Eva Ji?i?ná, architect
Hanif Kara, co?founder of AKT II
Rozana Montiel, architect and previous Moira Gemmill Prize winner
Smith Mordak, Director of Sustainability and Physics at Buro Happold
Catherine Slessor, editor and critic
Sal Wilson, sustainability consultant
Ellis Woodman, director of the Architecture Foundation

The W Awards, in association with The Architectural Review and the Architects’ Journal, raise the profile of women and non-binary people in architecture worldwide, inspiring change as a united voice of this global call for respect, diversity and equality. The awards were started in 2012 to celebrate exemplary work of all kinds: from the design of the world’s most significant new buildings to contributions to wider architectural culture, from lifetimes of achievement to the work of women with bright futures ahead.

The work of the shortlisted architects is featured in the AR’s March 2022 issue, alongside winners of the Jane Drew and Ada Louise Huxtable Prizes Farshid Moussavi and Mona Hatoum.

We are delighted to be joined by 2022 winners Farshid Moussavi and Mona Hatoum at the W Lunch, where the winners of the Moira Gemmill Prize and MJ Long Prize will be announced. Find out more and book tickets here
