The judges were consistently awed by the new architectural directions signaled by the cohort of this year\u2019s finalists, with many citing the renewed importance of contextualization, both with the immediate surroundings and with history, through an emphasis on regional materials, labor and techniques that respond to local conditions and heritage. The increasing prominence of landscape-driven design and building reuse across the globe was also remarkable.<\/p>\n

All of these tendencies highlight the industry\u2019s shift towards greener, more environmentally minded practices, proving that high-tech innovations are not the only way forward; low-tech innovations in passive heating and cooling, water reuse, and natural ventilation and illumination abound. With projects ranging from rural community centers to national transportation infrastructure, this year\u2019s winners demonstrate the extraordinary impact of architecture at both local and global scales, highlighting works that act as new models for communities and cities worldwide.<\/p>\n
