224 buildings from 43 countries have made it on to the first ever WAF Awards shortlist. Every project shortlisted in the Awards will be presented live at the Festival.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to hear the story behind the buildings of the year. It’s also a rare chance to see our prestigious judges at work, and in the flesh. What will they make of the entries? Who will they select as the winner, and why?
