A+Awards Public Voting Now Open — Vote on the Best Architecture in the World!

Architizer Editors Architizer Editors

Architizer was founded on the premise that architecture is and always will be for everyone — look no further than Marc Kushner’s TED Talk and book for proof — and the A+Awards perfectly encapsulates this mission to break architecture out of its echo chamber. Now in its third edition, the program has gotten bigger and better every year, and we’re very excited to present the finalists for the 2015 A+Awards — and announce that the public voting period is now open!

Not only is the voting period a way for you, loyal reader, to see tons of amazing architecture, but you actually have a say in which projects are your favorites! And don’t forget to tell your fellow architecture fans to vote too — or better yet, rally your non-architect peeps and give them a crash course in what it’s all about!

It’s a point that we’ve championed time and again — that your opinion is as valid as any critic’s and this is a golden age for architecture, and it’s all thanks to you.

Check out just a few of the hundreds of finalists below, and vote by April 3rd to make your voice heard!
