The Prix Versailles just unveiled the winners of this year's World Titles trophies, honoring outstanding achievements in architectural and interior design. During a ceremony at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, the program selected the main prize winners from a field of "World’s Most Beautiful" categories (we've been covering the finalists over the past months).

"Architecture has the ability to display creative and stylistic diversity with great force," jury chair Benjamin Millespied, a dancer and choreographer, shared at the ceremony. "That diversity is the sign that the attention given to nature, togetherness and different forms of expertise can help an environment emerge, one that is both receptive to expression and capable of harmony. Such an assembly of actors from every background reminds us of culture’s unique talent for leading humankind into dialogue."

This year's Prix Versailles jury panel also included architects Daniel Libeskind, David Adjaye, Wang Shu, and Sou Fujimoto, as well as fashion designer Guo Pei, violinist Julia Fischer, and actress Blanca Suárez.
