This year's winners ceremony will be held at Zhang Yuan, a preserved building in the Shikumen style – a blend of Western and Chinese architecture – in the heart of Shanghai.

The recently renovated district comprises over forty buildings of more than 20 different styles including Western-style garden villas as well as traditional Chinese buildings, some of which date back over 100 years.

The invitation-only event will include champagne on arrival, cocktails and canapes – as the perfect networking opportunity. Afterwards, at the ceremony we'll raise a toast to this year's winners followed by music and dancing into the night.

All guests will receive a personalised invitation this week. For those who are unable to join us in person, Dezeen's WeChat video channel will live stream the event online.
