Finalists Announced for 12th Annual A+Awards in Architecture
Architizer
Over 600 Projects Showcase a Hopeful Architectural Future Around the Globe
Architizer announces the 2024 shortlist for its A+Awards, the world’s largest and most democratic architectural awards program, honoring the best architecture and spaces from around the globe.
With a focus on reuse and renovation projects, the 2024 program spotlights architects and designers who are reimagining the future of our built environment in myriad ways. With more than 5,000 entries from over 80 countries, the program’s illustrious Jury has selected Finalists in each of the program’s 126 categories. The 628 projects that made the cut impressed jurors across the evaluation criteria, which include points for form, function, and social and environmental impact.
This year’s Finalists offer a compelling vision for a hopeful future rooted in this year’s theme of rethinking what architecture can be. Creative courage is common across all of this year’s projects, which demonstrate architects’ incredible ability to respond to society’s changing needs, the growing climate crisis, and the rapid evolution of technology. Whether reusing existing structures, designing regenerative environments, or reimagining building approaches, typologies, and materials, the 2024 A+Awards Finalists set positive precedents for the next generation of architects.
“Among the shortlisted projects, I can see a clear and interesting trend towards re-using, re-thinking, and re-making. In order to reduce CO2 emissions, this approach is more important than ever, and I’m thrilled to see so many projects moving that direction this year.” - Monica von Schmalensee (CEO, White Arkitekter and A+Awards Juror)

"I was impressed by the number of architects incorporating nature into their designs...we require buildings that serve more than mere functions of living, working, or schooling. We need structures that actively contribute to our mental and physical well-being.” - Wandile Mthiyane (Founder, Ubuntu Design Group and A+Awards Juror)
Selecting the shortlisted projects were some of the design industry’s most renowned practitioners and thinkers, such as Wandile Mthiyane (Ubuntu Design Group), Kate Wagner (architecture critic), Enrique Norten (TEN Arquitectos), Mariam Issoufou (Mariam Issoufou Architects), Thomas Robinson (LEVER Architecture), Paolo Casati and Cristian Confalonieri (Fuorisalone), Tosin Oshinowo (Oshinowo Studio), Mari Balestrazzi (Airbnb), and Karim Rashid (Karim Rashid).
