AT20
It started with cricket.
Edifice already fielded teams in corporate cricket. The thought was simple —
A serious cricket tournament for architects — of their own.
The ambition cost more than entry fees could fund.
Players
Architects + Designers
Brands
Supplying the industry
Could the industry that serves architects help fund the cricket architects wanted to play?
Sponsorship
Formalised
Standards
Raised
Entry
Limited
A place in the tournament begins to mean something.
Getting in becomes part of the prize.
Selective, invitation-led entry — for strong representation of the architectural community and a credible value proposition for sponsors.
This isn't box cricket. It's leather-ball T20.
Even large practices may not have enough accomplished leather-ball players to field a competitive side. So the format allows —
Single corporate teams
Combination / Fusion teams
Architects from mid-sized and smaller firms.
Eligibility and team-composition rules keep moving to hold the balance.
Who pays for the difference?
Brands supplying the architecture + interiors industry fund the environment the community wants to play in.
Not a bolt-on sponsor layer. Part of the model from the test bed onward.
Repeated contact
Informal environment
Industry peers
No promise of deals signed at the boundary line — sponsor presence in a setting that does not expect a sale, with the right audience genuinely present on and off the field.
The recurrence and turnover of names across seasons is the story.
AT20 through the years.
Twelve seasons. Two interruptions.
COVID resulted in the loss of two full seasons.
Oneworld lost the rights to host one season.
Oneworld regained the rights to AT20.
