The World Architecture Festival (WAF) has announced its strong shortlist for its 2018 Awards, the annual event will celebrate its eleventh edition in Amsterdam, from 28-30 November this year, alongside with its sister event INSIDE World Festival of Interiors. 

A research centre in Riyadh by Zaha Hadid Architects, a village lounge in rural China and a mosque without a minaret in Iran by  Fluid Motion Architects are among the projects shortlisted in the World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards 2018, the world’s biggest architectural awards programme.

WAF's 536-strong shortlist also includes top international firms, such as OMA, Foster & Partners, BIG, Neri & Hu, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Turenscape, Nikken Sekkei, Rafael Vinoly Architects, Grimshaw, Tabanlioglu Architects, Heatherwick Studio and FJMT, while many smaller practices are added to the big names.

World Architecture Festival and INSIDE World Festival of Interiors will take place in Amsterdam simultaneously between  28-30 November, 2018. This is the first time the event has been hosted in the Dutch capital, following previous editions in Barcelona, Singapore and Berlin.

WAF stated that the 2018 awards programme received more than 1,000 entries for the first time, with numbers up 20 per cent compared with 2017, and 536 projects from  81 countries have been shortlisted for the 2018 World Architecture Festival Awards program.

Chinese practices submitted the most projects from any country, with 76 per cent more than last year. This reflects the significant level of ongoing development in East Asia and Oceania, with Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore also ranking highly. In Europe, the UK was again well represented, with Turkey also featuring prominently. In tandem with the event being hosted in Amsterdam, the organisers received a record number of Dutch entries, with projects including housing, transport and universities.

China, Australia, UK, Turkey and USA are listed as the top countries of the WAF for 2018 submissions. Shortlisting judges noted the strength of the ‘Old and New’ category, with plenty of innovative ideas and creative re-use of old structures through extensions and additions, for example Thomas Heatherwick’s conversion of a disused grain silo in South Africa for use as a contemporary art gallery.

"This has been a terrific year for the WAF Awards, reaching our largest entry total to date. This has not resulted in any decrease in quality, if anything the opposite," said WAF programme director Paul Finch. 

"It has been extremely gratifying to review entries from more than 81 different countries and note the way in which architects are absorbing lessons from contemporaries across the world."

Shortlisting judges noted the strength of the ‘Old and New’ category, with plenty of innovative ideas and creative re-use of old structures through extensions and additions, for example Thomas Heatherwick’s conversion of a disused grain silo in South Africa for use as a contemporary art gallery.

Architects and designers will present to international juries in front of festival delegates. Category winners then compete against each other on the final day of the festival, to compete for the ultimate accolades of World Building of the Year, Future Project of the Year, Interior of the Year and Landscape of the Year.
