The winners of the Architizer A+Awards 2022

For its tenth edition, the Architizer A+Awards received over 5,000 entries from more than 100 countries, confirming it as one of the most popular award programmes on the international architecture scene. The projects nominated for the awards were voted on by an international general public, as well as judged by a panel of experts including architects Julie Eizenberg FAIA, FRAIA (director and founder of Koning Eizenberg Architecture), Jasmit Singh Rangr (president and founder of Rangr Studio), Germane Barnes (director of Studio Barnes), Suchi Reddy (director of Reddymade), Yoko Choy (China editor of the Wallpaper* magazine) and many others.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Architizer A+Awards, new awards were introduced and presented: the "Firm of the Year" A+Awards. These new prizes are aimed not at a specific project, but in general at the architectural practice and thus at the whole of its activities. In particular, the jury awarded the "Best Large Architecture Firm" to Zaha Hadid Architects, the "Best Public Projects Architecture Firm" to NADAAA and the "Best Young Architecture Firm" to Jonathan Burlow Architects, while Studio Toggle won the "Best Architecture Firm in Africa and the Middle East" as selected by the jury, as well as "Best Young Architecture Firm" as selected by the public. The public also selected Montalba Architects as the "Best Architecture Firm in North America" and the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) studio as the "Best Sustainable Architecture Firm". Turning our attention to the award-winning projects in each of the 117 categories, one winner was selected by the jury and one by popular vote, with over 400,000 votes cast. The winning projects include:
The Winter Park Library & Events Centre in Florida, United States designed by Adjaye Associates; The Relic Shelter - Fuzhou Teahouse in Fuzhou, China, designed by Neri&Hu Design and Research Office; a sports and training centre for the Masoro Village, in Rwanda designed by the General Architecture Collaborative; the Botanical Pavilion in Melbourne, Australia designed by the Kengo Kuma & Associates + Geoffrey Nees, the Yunzhai Community Centre in Yunzhai Village, China designed by SUP Atelier; and the Pendrell skyscraper in Vancouver, Canada, designed by the Henriquez Partners Architects studio.
All the winning projects of the 2022 edition will be collected and featured in the "Architizer: The World's Best Architecture" volume, set to be published in autumn 2022 and to become a guide to the best architecture of the year.
