More than 30 Australian projects are among the 495 from across the globe that have been shortlisted in the 2023 World Architecture Festival Awards.
Australia is among the top 10 countries with the most shortlisted projects.
“We are delighted with both the quantity and quality of this year’s entries,” said WAF program director Paul Finch. “They are a reminder in a world experiencing numerous crises that architects continue to address both everyday and unusual challenges with skill and imagination.”
The World Architecture Festival will return to Singapore for the first time since 2015. The shortlisted projects will be judged live in front of various panels of judges. The festival program will also include keynote talks and social events.
The 2023 World Architecture Festival will take place at Marina Bay Sands from 29 November to 1 December.
