More than 40 Australian projects have made the shortlist of the 2022 World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards, with a big contingent in the Completed Buildings – School category.
The awards recognize completed buildings, future projects and landscapes across 43 categories. Around the world, 420 projects from more than 50 countries were shortlisted.
“The number and quality of entries this year has been very encouraging, and we are looking forward to meeting in person to carry out category judging and then our best-in-show awards,” said WAF program director Paul Finch.
The 2022 World Architecture Festival will be held in Lisbon from 30 November until 2 December as the first in-person event since 2019. The festival, organized under the theme “Together”, will include a speaker series exploring how architecture is responding to a post-pandemic world, as well as how it is adapting in the face of climate change.
