We've retrofitted our retrofit events!


The Architects’ Journal is delighted to be combining two flagship events under one roof in 2024. Both events will take place at The Brewery in London on 11 September 2024, uniting our community of retrofit and reuse experts, practitioners and advisers to champion and celebrate positive change for the built environment.

Why did we retrofit the retrofit awards?

To make them more relevant to the industry by celebrating and highlighting the diversity of approaches to retrofit in a much more tailored way through introducing fresh categories.

To make them a more distinctive event – including through a live judging element, one focused on and able to dig down and interrogate process and method in the adaption and upgrade of buildings as much as the finished result. 

To highlight the key growing importance of reuse of materials and structure – reflected in the change of title of the awards. 

To update and upgrade the environmental data required to make the awards a more exacting test in their celebration of architectural expertise and ingenuity in retrofit and reuse.

Early bird savings are available until 19 January 2024 for awards entries and 15 June 2024 for conference tickets. We also offer bundles that save you up to 15% if you attend both events.

The AJ Retrofit & Reuse Awards

The AJ Retrofit & Reuse Awards are an evolution of the well-established Retrofit Awards. All 14 categories have been refreshed and for three of these new categories: Climate resilience and adaption, Deconstruction and reuse, and Private/individual renovation we’re introducing live judging. Shortlisted practices will present their projects live in front of a jury and audience earlier in the day at the AJ Retrofit Live conference.
