The World Architecture Festival winners have been announced – here’s a few of our favourites from this year’s list of architectural champions.
Each year the World Architecture Festival highlights incredible planned and completed projects across the globe and across a range of design categories. The Festival is now the world’s largest annual international architectural event. It includes the biggest architectural awards programme in the world, dedicated to celebrating excellence via live presentations to an audience of high-profile delegates and international juries.
