World Architecture Festival 2013

This autumn the renowned World Architecture Festival will open its doors for the sixth time. From 2 to 4 October, the global architectural community will be converging on Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands hotel, itself an architectural landmark, to experience and debate new ideas, projects and products. With more than 2,000 guests from over 65 countries expected to attend, WAF 2013 will once again provide a fantastic opportunity for architects, designers and planners to present their projects to an international expert audience. Entries for one or several of the award categories will be accepted until 10 June 2013. Apart from the coveted “World Building of the Year” award, there will be prizes in the categories “Future Project of the Year”, “Landscape Project of the Year” and in numerous sub-categories for buildings completed during the previous year from various different sectors.

Submitting an architectural project is worth the effort in any case, given that all entrants will benefit from international exposure. Those who make it onto the shortlist will additionally profit from direct feedback from the high-calibre WAF judges and their recommendations. This year the panel includes Kim Nielsen from 3XN, Richard Hassell from WOHA and Michael Cox from Cox Rayner Architects.
