Tower of Lights wins Innovation & Beauty Award
We are thrilled to have received the AIA’s (American Institute of Architecture) 2025 award for Innovation & Beauty for the Tower of Light. The American Institute of Architects UK Chapter hosted the 2025 Excellence in Design Awards Ceremony at the Royal College of Physicians on 7 May 2025. The judges praised the project for its innovative design:
“We must remember the importance of innovation in pushing forward the architectural discourse, but at the same time, this project by Tonkin Liu reminds us that innovation alone is not enough. Architecture must have the capacity to enrich and inspire, and the Tower of Light does this so very well.”
