Make This Your Year: The 2018 A+Awards Is Open for Entries!


Since its inception nine years ago, Architizer’s mission has always remained the same: to empower architects to build better buildings, better cities and a better world.

As a company founded by architects, we understand that’s not as easy as it sounds. The lives of architects can sometimes feel swamped by tight budgets, late nights and difficult deadlines, but what results is worth the struggle: Great architecture fundamentally improves people’s everyday lives. It’s no wonder, then, that the designers behind these projects are some of the most dedicated professionals in the world. It’s this dedication that is celebrated each year by the A+Awards, the world’s largest awards program for architecture and building-products.

Click here to enter the 2018 A+Awards today and get your best projects recognized by communities around the world.

Romsdal Folk Museum by Reiulf Ramstad Architects, Molde, Norway — 2017 A+Awards Jury and Public Choice Winner in the Museums category

Partake in Our Design Democracy

There may be new categories and a fresh focus this year, but the program’s democratic principles remain as strong as ever. Renowned names and unsung heroes alike, the A+Awards is for everyone. Past winners include big-name firms like Zaha Hadid Architects, Snøhetta and BIG, but also emerging stars like penda, Buro Koray Duman and People’s Architecture Office.

The program is completely accessible to all architects, with two awards dedicated to each category. One is awarded on votes cast by our list of over 400 amazing jurors, a stellar line-up of luminaries from the worlds of design, technology, media, business and more, while the other is decided by hundreds of thousands of votes from the general public.

Each of these awards is considered equal in importance, and both are decided wholly by counting the votes. Unlike awards such as the Pritzker Prize, which is chosen by a small group with their own agenda, this is a truly egalitarian system: Everyone has an equal chance of being recognized, no matter how large or small their firm is. All you need is a fantastic project and a wifi connection. It’s that simple!

Wood Urbanism

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
