Architecture was more or less identified with housing & more so

with elite housing. However, many countries have used

architecture effectively for public structures also, such as
highways, Metro rails, factories, harbors & many other public
facilities. If these structures have to look pleasing, relevant
architecture has to be applied in their designs.
The subject of challenges to architecture w.r.t. town planning,
infrastructure development & affordable housing is being
discussed in various countries through various forums. Late Shri
Yadupati Singhania JI, Past Chairman and Managing Director of
J.K. Cement Limited thought that we can contribute to this cause
by encouraging outstanding talent in the architecture profession
as a continuous process & thereby set an example for others in
the profession to do better & better. This is how 1st AYA began
way back in the year 1990.
To encourage state level architecture, State Architecture awards
were also introduced from the year 1998.

31st Architect Of The Year Awards was held in Lucknow.
