Awards can have a significant impact on an architect’s prospects even more so when they come along early in a career. For Taymoore Balbaa, MRAIC, winning the RAIC Young Architect Award in 2011 was an early sign of the stellar career ahead of him.
Balbaa was the inaugural winner when the prize now known as the Emerging Architect Award was first established. He is the first in our series on award recipients past and present.
