Kate Macintosh - the renowned designer and tireless advocate of decent and dignified architecture for all - is the recipient of the AJ100 Contribution to the Profession award 2024. AJ editor Emily Booth said: ‘Kate Macintosh is a wonderful winner of this year’s Contribution to the Profession award. From her exceptional work, encapsulated in the groundbreaking Dawson’s Heights scheme and her tireless support and ongoing advocacy for stand-out social housing, Kate is, quite simply, a hero to so many. It is the AJ’s privilege to recognise her leadership and influence with this honour.’ An Architects' Journal film by Jim Stephenson, Dion Barrett and Sarah Daoudi.
