Winners of the 2020 International Architecture Awards

More than a hundred new buildings and urban planning projects from 38 nations have been recognized in the latest edition of the International Architecture Awards. The annual program is organized jointly by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

"It is our intention that these awards uncover the world’s most innovative and visionary architecture and their professional practices, as well as spark local and global debates about the positive impact that well-designed buildings and places can have on local communities and the environment," said Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, Architecture Critic and President of The Chicago Athenaeum.
