The GGB Awards are presented annually in honour of our founder, Sir George Grenfell Baines. Teams are invited to submit completed projects, which are judged by leaders from each of our professions and ranked according to their design quality and the level of interdisciplinary integration. The finalists are selected for their beautifully simple approach to design, where the clarity of integrated thinking reflects a deep understanding of people, place and time.
