The ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards is one of the architecture world’s most influential and democratic award series, celebrating the best architecture around the world as chosen by YOU, our readers.

By nominating and voting, you form part of an interdependent, impartial, distributed network of jurors and peers that has consistently helped us highlight architecture of every scale, purpose, and condition, from countries large and small, and architects of all descriptions. 

This is why we decided to trust our community in the design of The Building of the Year trophy, in a way to celebrate this community-based award.

We are looking for the best 3D-Printed trophy designs, that will be displayed at the most influential architecture practices in the world.

Since then, housing has been in constant revision, reformulation and even experimentation, having had a profound interest in design for most of the most important design and architecture professionals of the twentieth century, and so far in the twenty-first.
