This year’s World Architecture Awards will once again be hosted in Singapore at Suntec City from November 2nd to 6th, 2015, at AECOM’s impressive steel-framed Convention and Exhibition Centre. On this occasion, the World Architecture Festival Gala Awards Dinner will take place on the evening of November 6th, where category winners will compete for the ultimate accolades of World Building of the Year and Future Project of the Year 2015, which have the power to transform careers, by promoting avant-garde work to a global audience.

“This is an exciting time for the Awards, with no predictions possible about this year’s result,’’ said Paul Finch, WAF’s Program Director, in an official release. “Since our launch in 2008 we’ve had entries from over 70 countries around the world, and award winning schemes of every shape, size and type. Every year we find new talent competing with established names, and that is big part of the attraction of the event, not just for entrants, but for delegates too.”
 
Award-winning European practices of previous years include the Yalikavak Marina Complex in Turkey, designed by EAA-Emre Arolat Architects - winner of the WAF 2014 Completed Buildings. In addition to the main Awards, there are prizes for small projects decided by specialist juries.

With its debut this year, WAF London will be the first satellite regional event, exhibiting all of the shortlisted entries along with a 3-day talks program. The event will take place at the University of Westminster from June 24th to 27th, 2015, as part of the London Architecture Festival.
