Celebrate a Decade of Inspirational Design With Us!
The 10th Annual A+Awards provides a unique opportunity to look back at the extraordinary legacy of the world’s largest architectural awards program, highlighting the most pioneering projects as beacons for the next generation of design. Throughout the season, we’ll be running the rule over some of the best projects from the past decade, and hearing from their incredible designers on the challenges facing architecture in the years to come.
“What’s going on behind the scenes of the A+Awards is amazing, because there’s all this great dialogue about where architecture is heading,” said Michel Rojkind, founder of Rojkind Arquitectos and winner of an A+Awards Project of the Year Award for Foro Boca concert hall in Boca del Río, Mexico.
This year’s A+Awards invites architects and designers from established firms and emerging studios alike to submit projects that they feel will set the benchmark for the coming decade and beyond. Which of your projects forms a compelling example for future generations, creating a precedent for the profession to follow? Submit your work for an opportunity to be a part of architecture’s most important conversations for years to come!
