"The Adaptive Re-use category was a standout. It’s a hugely important sector given climate change, circularity in the economy, and the efficient use of resources. All of the work displayed a high level of creative thought and execution—choosing just one was almost impossible.” Heinz Richardson (Director, Buro Nineteen and A+Awards Juror)


Selecting the shortlisted projects were some of the design industry’s most renowned practitioners and thinkers, including Wandile Mthiyane (Ubuntu Design Group), Suchi Reddy (Reddymade), Thomas Robinson (LEVER Architecture), Sara Kolata (Disrupt Symposium), Oana Stanescu (Oana Stanescu Studio), Lesley Lokko (African Futures Institute), and Tao Liu + Chenyan Kai (Atelier Tao+c). Other members of the A+Awards prestigious 250+ Jury Academy include luminaries from the fields of art, technology, fashion, media, business, and real estate. See the complete Jury list here.


The A+Awards is unique among global architectural awards, with shortlisted projects also judged by the voting public. With the aim to break architecture out of its echo chamber, each season Architizer invites design students, enthusiasts, building occupants, and the general public to vote for their favorite work. In 2022, over 400,000 ballots were cast.


“I love the way so many architects are fearlessly embracing technology and using it to drastically change what is possible in architecture. It's fascinating to see these projects and learn their back stories.” Nikita Morell (Founder, Architects Wordshop and A+Awards Juror)


In collaboration with its official partners. the AIANY, RAIC, v2com newswire, and Aesthetica, Architizer will announce the 2023 A+Awards Winners in late May, followed by a live celebration of Winners at the Paris+ art fair in October.
