The winners of this year’s World Architecture Festival WAFX Awards have just been announced, featuring a group of more than 30 future projects. Each seeks to shape the world, facing the major architectural issues plaguing both society and the planet today, while evoking the WAF's future-forward theme of 'Tomorrow.'
Many proposals highlight ideas whose social benefit was intended for a diverse and wide-ranging global community beset by wars and struggling with the changing environment. Designs in eleven categories were selected by the jury from the group of future projects included in the larger WAF shortlist in advance of the annual three-day meeting in Singapore in November.
Paul Finch, the Director of the World Architecture Festival, commented: "This year’s winners show how major challenges affecting people and environments generate responses which address functional and social problems, while lifting the spirits of those who will benefit from creative architecture and design."
