Once again in its eighth edition, the Prix Versailles 2022 awards have honored the best achievements in contemporary architecture. A total of 24 projects from different parts of the world have been highlighted paying tribute to innovation, creativity, the reflection of local heritage, eco-efficiency, and the values of social interaction and participation upheld by the United Nations and aligned with the principles of intelligent sustainability considering the ecological, social and cultural impacts that surround the projects.
There were 94 finalists involving the 24 projects selected worldwide in the categories of airports, campuses, stations, and sports facilities, and 70 continental winners in the categories of retail, shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants. This year's World Panel of Judges was headed by philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky (France), along with personalities from multiple disciplines such as architects Thom Mayne (USA), Lu Wenyu (China), and Thomas Vonier (USA), designer Jasper Morrison (UK), DJ Charlotte de Witte (Belgium), film director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (Chad - France) and mountaineer Samina Baig (Pakistan).
