A Shared Mission
This collaboration represents a powerful alignment between two platforms committed to elevating architecture’s most meaningful work. For over a decade, Architizer’s A+Awards has celebrated outstanding buildings from across the globe, honoring the architects and firms setting new standards for excellence in the built environment. Meanwhile, METROPOLIS has spent more than 40 years setting the agenda for sustainable, socially responsible and future-focused design through its daily coverage, print issues and global events.
Together, Architizer and METROPOLIS share a common mission: to amplify the voices, values and visions of today’s most impactful architects and designers — and to share those stories with the world.
