In the past two weeks, with 80000 readers participating in the voting, the final winners of the 2019 Jianri Zhuwen Annual Architecture Award have been officially announced! This year is the tenth year of the Annual Architecture Awards, which is the world's largest award based on peer evaluation. It shows you the best project of the year selected by readers independently. This year, over 4000 projects were included in the selection list. After carefully considering various types, sizes, and locations of projects, the 4000 projects were reduced to 75 shortlisted projects. After another round of voting, the 75 projects have now been reduced to 15 winners (one for each type).
The selection results are as diverse as the architecture itself. There are well-known names that appear, such as Zaha Hadid Architects, MVRDV, and Heatherwick Architects. Heatherwick has won the award for a renovation project for the second consecutive year. However, niche architectural firms dominate the majority of awards. The tranquil and simple real estate office building designed by INNOCAD enhances the aesthetic level of corporate architecture, while the library designed by Sameep Padora uses technology and materials that are unforgettable. This library is the second award-winning project in India this year, marking the first year for Indian designers to emerge.
Although the award-winning projects vary greatly, they share an important commonality: they represent our mission and values - bringing inspiration, knowledge, and assistance to architects from all over the world. Without the support of design companies and readers for our mission, there would be no annual architectural awards. In fact, without you, we would not exist. Regardless of the format and outcome, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who participated this year. Congratulations to all the winners!
