One of the most anticipated awards of the festival is the World Building of the Year, which recognizes the best overall building design. This year, the prestigious award went to a stunning mixed-use development in Singapore called “The Interlace.” Designed by OMA and Ole Scheeren, this project features a series of interconnected apartment blocks that create a unique and dynamic living environment.
Another standout design at this year’s festival was the winner of the Future Project of the Year award. This award recognizes innovative and forward-thinking architectural concepts that have yet to be realized. The winner of this year’s award was a project called “The Floating City” by architect Vincent Callebaut. This visionary design imagines a sustainable and self-sufficient city floating on the ocean, addressing the challenges of rising sea levels and climate change.
In addition to these top awards, the festival also honored a number of other outstanding projects in various categories, including residential, commercial, cultural, and educational architecture. Some of the standout designs included a minimalist beach house in Australia, a striking office building in China, and a stunning museum in Spain.
Overall, the winners and standout designs of WAF 2024 demonstrate the incredible talent and creativity of architects from around the world. These projects push the boundaries of traditional architecture and offer innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing our society today.
As the festival comes to a close, the world eagerly awaits to see how these award-winning designs will shape the future of architecture and inspire new generations of architects to push the boundaries of what is possible. Congratulations to all the winners and participants of WAF 2024 – your work is truly groundbreaking and inspiring.
