The Architectural League Prize is an annual competition, series of lectures, exhibition, and publication organized by the Architectural League of New York. Since 2000 the Young Architects competition has identified the best of an emerging generation of architects and designers. The theme for the 2014 Architecture League Prize, Overlay, asked entrants to consider how iterative, incremental processes inform and direct their work. Competition entries reflect a diversity of approaches—from written, researched, and graphically rich interpretations to projects presenting the literal mapping of effects upon a surface.
