Which of these 7 amazing buildings would you pick for 2019’s top architecture award?
The Dezeen Awards longlist is packed with top contenders, but these structures – from Teahouse in China to The Wave in Denmark – stand out for their unparalleled design
From a Danish housing complex shaped like a wave to an arts centre in Dubai that’s made up of white aluminium boxes, there’s some fascinating architecture to be found around the world.
The Dezeen Awards are currently in the process of naming the architecture project of the year. To do so, its judges have to narrow down the 267 architectural projects that made the 2019 longlist.
According to its website, Dezeen – an architecture and design platform – received over 4,500 applicants from 87 different countries. Of those, 267 architecture projects made the first cut.
The architecture longlist recognises the best new projects from around the world. It includes famous firms like Foster + Partners and Studio Gang, as well as local studios.
The team of judges comprises industry leaders, including Frida Escobedo, Sou Fujimoto, Doriana Fuksas and Winy Maas. In September, they will announce a shortlist, and the winner will be revealed in October.
“Our judges are looking for projects which best fit the three judging criteria: beautiful, innovative and beneficial,” said Aisling Cowley, head of the Dezeen Awards.
Presented below, in no particular order, are seven outstanding projects that made this year’s longlist.
