ArchDaily: Best New Practices 2023

We are delighted to announce ArchDaily have chosen U-Build as one of their Best New Practices 2023. After extensive evaluation of its ethos and work by ArchDaily Editors, U-Build has been awarded this certificate of excellence. ArchDaily editors write ‘U-Build embodies the spirit of innovation and brings unique and valuable knowledge to the world  of architecture.’

For further information on the award, ArchDaily writes ‘As the growing complexity of our world presents us with ever-growing challenges at an unprecedented speed, our built environment has become one of society’s most critical  questions. From energy scarcity to inequality, density, diversity, waste, food production, circular economy, and identity — it all converges into the built environment. To face this, architecture needs to evolve and scale.’
