In a world that feels more divided than ever before, Architizer’s A+Awards exists to globally unite people through great design. We believe everyone should have a say in naming the world’s best buildings — giving credit to small, emerging firms and big-name architects alike. No matter who designs it, all good architecture is equally worthy of recognition, and now is your chance to give your favorite buildings the spotlight. Public voting for the fifth annual competition is officially open!
CLICK HERE TO CAST YOUR VOTES IN THE 2017 A+AWARDS NOW.
As the world’s largest awards program for architecture and products, the A+Awards celebrates the diverse talent of designers everywhere and, unlike many other architectural award programs, is a purely democratic process. An architect simply needs a great project and a Wi-Fi connection to be in the running. As a voter, all you need is to go online and choose the most inspiring designs from the collection of short-listed designs.
Remember: Every vote counts. We’re asking you to view these projects with fresh eyes and an open mind. It doesn’t matter who designed them or where they’re located. Ask yourself: Does this project make the world a better place? Does it inspire me? Is it truly innovative? If so, vote now and celebrate the most incredible projects created by talented architects around the globe. Here’s a preview of just some of the amazing projects you’ll be considering this year:
