Judging is complete and the big moment is finally here: Architizer is thrilled to announce the Winners of the inaugural Vision Awards, the world’s biggest awards program dedicated to the art of architectural representation!
The Architizer Vision Awards was conceived as a way to recognize the talented students, professionals and studios who envision the world’s architecture — both built and unbuilt — through amazing photography, drawings, renderings, videos, physical models and more. With hundreds of entries submitted across more than 30 categories, the response to our newest awards program was extraordinary. The Winners form a vibrant showcase of powerful architectural imagery and videography, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Without further ado, explore the Winners and Special Mentions in every category via the official Vision Awards Winners’ Gallery:
Including an incredible array of powerful photographs, immersive videos, fantastical renderings and intricate drawings, the winning works tell powerful stories about architecture and form a creative catalyst for the profession. The Vision Awards offered a range of accolades for firms, individuals and students, each of whom will see their work featured in print in the first edition of Visions of Architecture, a sumptuous softcover anthology that will be published very soon.
