World Architecture Festival 2014 shortlist announced

The World Architecture Festival has announced the shortlist for its 2014 awards, attracting entries from more than 50 countries, including a Buddhist temple in Singapore, an invisible eco-tourism resort in Turkey, a maritime museum in Copenhagen, and the new masterplan for Gatwick Airport.

The world’s biggest architectural awards programme includes entries from internationally acclaimed global practices such as Zaha Hadid Architects, OMA, Foster & Partners, BIG, Woods Bagot, Farrells, Perkins & Will and Aedas, as well as many others. Even though the entries have been received from more than 50 countries, this years marks a significant increase of entries from Asian countries. Projects from China, Malaysia and Vietnam have shown an increase of 87%, 71% and 140% from last year.

The shortlisted projects will compete across 27 individual award categories, being presented live in front of international judging panels and delegates at this year’s festival. For the first time, this year’s festival will include a separate small projects category, as the judges wished to highlight design skills which had a disproportionate relationship to the physical size of a project.

From small structures to industrial complexes, the breadth of projects shortlisted this year reveals the diversity and strength of global architectural design. It also demonstrates the creativity and tenacity of the international architectural community in creating these truly remarkable schemes. We’d like to congratulate the architects responsible as they prepare to present the merits of their schemes live at the festival in October.

– Paul Finch – WAF Programme Director

The 2014 festival will be held in Singapore for the third time, taking place between 1-3 October (Book Your Festival Pass). The winners of each future project and completed building category are put forward to compete for the coveted World Building or Future Project of the Year award, presided over by the festival’s ‘super-jury’, with the presentation of the award being the culmination of WAF 2014.

This year’s festival will also include two additional prizes to reward the creative use of colour and materials: the Exterior Colour Prize, sponsored by AkzoNobel; and the Wood Excellence Prize, sponsored by the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC).

The theme for WAF’s main conference sessions in 2014 will be ‘Architects and the City’. Speakers will examine the contribution architects can make, and the way they affect and are affected by, politics, infrastructure, planning, communities and technology. Presentations and panel discussions will feature prominent architects including keynote speeches from Lord Richard Rogers (UK); Moshe Safdie (Canada) and Rocco Yim (Hong Kong); and representatives from policy-makers and urban organizations.
