The World Architecture Festival (WAF), the largest annual festival, held this year its seventh edition from 1 to 3 October, at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
The festival annually brings together nearly 2,000 participants from more than 50 countries for various events including conferences, parties and seminars from thought-leading architects and designers from across the globe, culminating in the largest live awards programme for the global architecture community.
Practices from around the world compete across 28 award categories for global recognition. Architects of every shortlisted project are invited to attend the festival to give a live presentation to a panel of judges, asserting their case for why their project should win.
The winners of each category are put forward to compete for the coveted World Building of the Year award, presided over by the festival’s ‘super-jury’, with the presentation of the award being the culmination of WAF 2014.
This year’s super jury members are Richard Rogers (chair), Rocco Yim, Julie Eizenberg, Enric Ruiz Geli and Peter Rich.
