Local Expertise, Global Reach: New Categories Announced
Reflecting this theme, the 13th A+Awards invites firms to submit a range of timely new categories, emphasizing architecture that balances local innovation with global vision. New and expanded categories include:
- Architecture +Localism: Architectural excellence is rooted in understanding and respecting the local context. This category celebrates projects that demonstrate a profound connection to their surroundings, designed in response with the cultural and ecological landscape. Whether through vernacular architecture, critical regionalism, or innovative responses to local traditions and materials, these projects embody a strong sense of place.
- Architecture +Detailing: The beauty of architecture often lies in the details, where the precision of craftsmanship comes to the fore. This category honors projects that excel in the fine art of construction detailing. From the elegant intersection of building elements to carefully crafted architectural ‘moments,’ these projects showcase an exceptional level of precision and creativity.
Throughout the awards season, we’ll delve into the stories behind some remarkable example of highly contextual spaces from last year’s A+Awards, learning how this decade’s architects are harmonizing the global dimensions of practice with on-the-ground local realities.
