The Architectural Review and Architects’ Journal have announced the winners of their 2018 Women in Architecture awards, naming Sandra Barclay, co-founder of Lima-based firm Barclay & Crousse, Architect of the Year and honouring Gloria Cabral, partner at Gabinete de Arquitectura in Paraguay, with the Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture.

The award for Architect of the Year recognizes an architect (or design duo) demonstrating excellence in design. The honor also highlights one of the laureate’s recently completed projects. The judges cited Barclay’s work on Peru’s Museo de Sitio de Paracas, calling the design “both robust and simple, yet powerful,” and going on to note that “even its man-made imperfection adds value to the building.”
