To recognize the achievements of firms profiled on World-Architects.com, we present the fourth biannual roundup of Awards, Competitions, Completed Buildings, Exhibitions, and Monographs; carefully selected, just like the profiles.
The heart of the World-Architects platform is the Profiles of Selected Architects – over 2,500 offices that are carefully chosen according to criteria of professionalism, uniqueness, and quality of design.*Our new Daily News section will supplant the need for this biannual roundup, since we’ll be able to share news about member firms in a more timely fashion.
