Architizer’s 13th Annual A+Awards Winners Honor Local and Global Innovation

New York, United States, 2025-06-09 - 

Architizer, the world’s leading online platform for architecture, announces the winners of the 13th Annual Architizer A+Awards. Founded on the premise of democratizing architecture, the A+Awards is the industry’s largest and most international awards program and honors the best buildings and spaces from across the globe.


Now in its 13th season, the A+Awards celebrate the work of over 200 firms from 80+ countries. This year’s honorees celebrate material mastery, regional craft, and cutting-edge ideas that reflect architecture’s global evolution from the ground up. New categories honoring local innovations and material innovations join accolades for adaptive reuse, urban renewal, and green building to round out the season’s spotlight on architecture that is globally relevant and yet deeply rooted in place. See the full list of categories here.


"I was especially moved by projects that embraced local context, culture, and climate—not just as constraints, but as sources of inspiration," said Wandile Mthiyane, Founder, Ubuntu Design Group. "There's a clear shift happening—one where beauty and justice are no longer seen as separate pursuits in architecture."


After reviewing 4,000+ submissions in over 100 categories, the distinguished A+Awards Jury has selected the world’s most innovative and impactful architecture of the year. The 2025 winners, which are also selected by the online voting public, reflect a powerful shift in architectural thinking. From intricately crafted residences in rural Japan, to adaptive reuse projects in bustling cities, this season’s winners comprise a generation of architects who are redefining innovation from the ground up. Select project winners include:


  • Legacy of Bodegas Faustino Winery by Foster + Partners (Oyón, Spain) 

  • Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula by Field Operations (New York, USA) 

  • Academia Atlas by Sordo Madaleno (Zapopan, Mexico) 

  • Kuwait University Administration Facilities by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) (Shadadiya, Kuwait) 

  • Populus by Studio Gang (Denver, USA) 

  • Nokha Village Community Centre by Sanjay Puri Architects (Nokha, India) 

  • Portland International Airport Main Terminal Expansion by ZGF Architects (Portland, USA)  

  • Meander Housing by Steven Holl Architects (Helsinki, Finland) 

  • Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture by MASS Design Group (Gashora, Rwanda) 

Some of the world’s leading firms also took home firm-based accolades, including:  


  • Snorre Stinessen Architecture (Popular Choice Winner, Best X-Small Firm) 

  • Desai Chia Architecture (Jury Winner, Best Small Firm) 

  • Olson Kundig (USA, Jury Winner, Best Large Firm) 

  • MGA | Michael Green Architecture (Jury Winner, Best Sustainable Firm) 

  • HDR (Popular Choice Winner, Best Global Firm)  

The complete list of winners can be found at https://winners.architizer.com/


The 13th A+Awards were judged by Architizer’s 250+ jury academy, comprising leading architecture and design voices, as well as luminaries from the diverse fields of art, technology, fashion, media, business, and real estate. See all 13th Annual A+Awards jurors here


“This year's winners showcase an inspiring evolution in architectural thinking—one that values precision, materiality, and craftsmanship over formal radicality," said Saul Kim, Director, Saul Kim Studio. "These works prove that architecture’s power resides not just in bold gestures, but in their depth of thought.”


With official partners v2com newswire, AIA New York, Aoyama Design Forum, the Global Design Awards Lab, and Aesthetica, Architizer will honor winners online via its 5+ million virtual community. Architizer will also celebrate winners at a series of live events this fall, as well as in its annual anthology Architizer: The World’s Best Architecture. This stunning, hardbound compendium is the definitive guide to the year’s best architecture and spaces.
