TheWorld Architecture Festival will be held from 15th to 17th November in Berlin. This annual event unites the world architecture community and is preparing to celebrate its tenth anniversary. There has been a great deal of participation in the competition to award the titles of World Building of the Year, Future Project of the Year and Landscape of the Year, together with the relative sub-categories. Projects from 68 different countries took part and these were by both internationally famous architects (including BIG, MVRDV, Rafael Vinoly Architects, Vo Trong Nghia Architects and Zaha Hadid Architects etc.), and by small studios. The winners will not be announced until November, but the long list of finalists in each category has been published.
