Regardless of their practice size and reputation,
all shortlisted entrants will this year gain double
exposure, having their projects exhibited across two
continents. The shortlist can first be seen this week
at the new satellite WAF London 24-27 June, before
arriving at the annual World Architecture Festival
2015 in Singapore this November. All shortlisted
practices will be vying to win not only their
individual categories, but the ultimate accolade of
‘World Building of the Year 2015’.
Singapore will present an opportunity for
shortlisted architects to network and discuss the
big conversations affecting the industry, as well also
providing a chance for professional critiques from
this years WAF ‘super jurors’: Royal Gold Medallist Sir
Peter Cook (UK), Sou Fujimoto (Japan), Benedetta
Tagliabue (Spain), Charles Jencks (UK/US), Kerry Hill
(Singapore) and Manuelle Gautrand (France).
