As a nearly century old corporate in the Building Construction industry, Getz has enjoyed a long, rich & memorable relationship with Architects in Asia. This has given us insight into how architects create sustainable, indigenous, contextually appropriate masterpieces out of buildings. To recognize this creative talent of Asia’s emergent architects, Getz Bros and the SIA have introduced the SIA-Getz Architecture Prize.
We hope this Architecture Prize will spur architects to even greater heights!
