The National Museum in Szczecin beat out other designs—such as the  Chengdu City Music Hall in China by Aedas and Zaha Hadid Architects’ Investcorp Building for Oxford University’s Middle East Center at St. Antony’s College—that had won in their entry category earlier in the festival. With entries submitted from 58 countries, the WAF judges selected from a total shortlist of 343 projects that were then critiqued based on the building type (residential, mixed-use, education, et al.). Curated from the list of category finalists, winners were then chosen for each of the six awards you’ll find in the gallery below.
