Berger Award for Excellence in Architecture (BAEA) is one of Bangladesh’s most prestigious and recognized awards. Bangladesh Limited (BPBL), in association with the Institute of Architects Bangladesh (IAB), introduced this award in 2003.

 

Earlier, Berger had introduced the “Berger Young Architects’ Award” to acknowledge the mark of distinction in the field of architecture which was later renamed to “Berger Award for Excellence in Architecture (BAEA)” in 2007. This year’s special 10th edition of the BAEA awards, meaning this initiative has traversed twenty years – a historic and mentionable feat.

 

Berger Award for Excellence in Architecture was an attempt to widen the horizon into two different groups initially, including “Berger Architects’ Award” and “Berger Young Architects’ Award,” covering Residential and Non-residential categories only. In December 2021, Berger Paints Bangladesh Ltd signed an MoU with the Institute of Architects Bangladesh (IAB) to conduct the award program. Under this MoU, both the organizations will work together to recognize the merits of architects of the country for their best creations.

 

IAB and Berger decided to invite projects under Open Category for the 10th cycle of the Berger Award for Excellence in Architecture to make the program more effective and successful.

Ar. Mubasshar Husain, President of the Institute of Architects Bangladesh, said, “Such award functions play an integral role in motivating architects to strive towards excellence. The Institute of Architects Bangladesh feels glad to be a part of this excellent platform introduced by Berger, designed to acknowledge the magnificent talents in the field of architecture.”
