Celebrating over 200 firms from 80+ countries

Architizer, the world’s leading online platform for architecture, announces the winners of the 14th Annual Architizer A+Awards. Founded on the premise of democratizing architecture, the A+Awards is the industry’s largest and most international awards program and honors the best buildings and spaces from across the globe. NPO Aoyama Design Forum (ADF) proudly supports the "A+ Award" as a media partner of Architizer again this year.

Now in its 14th season, the A+Awards celebrate the work of over 200 firms from 80+ countries. This year’s honorees celebrate a profession turning away from spectacle and toward something more considered: material mastery, regional craft, and projects deeply embedded in place. New categories honoring craft and making join accolades for contextual design, adaptive reuse, and sustainable practices, rounding out a spotlight on architecture that is defined by its intelligence rather than its silhouette.

After reviewing 4,000+ submissions in over 100 categories, the distinguished A+Awards Jury has selected the world’s most considered and thoughtful architecture of the year. The 2026 winners, which are also chosen via an online public vote, reflect a powerful shift in the industry. From projects emphasizing local materials to those leveraging new technologies, this season’s winners comprise firms advancing the discipline in myriad ways.
