A wooden bridge in China, an art conservation facility in the Netherlands and a Buddhist meditation center in Thailand are among over 250 buildings shortlisted in the annual World Architecture Festival (WAF) awards.
Hailing from over 50 countries, the finalists will be judged in categories that include residential, commercial and civic architecture, before vying for the prestigious title of World Building of the Year.
China accounted for more shortlisted projects than any other country, although organizers saw a notable increase in entries from India and Turkey, CNN writes.
Some of the high-profile structures on this year’s shortlist include Los Angeles’ new SoFi Stadium and famed London music venue Koko, which underwent a $100 million renovation following a fire.
The awards will be judged live during WAF, which is held from November 30 to December 2 in Lisbon, Portugal and is now in its 15th year.
Other awards will be given for landscape architecture and proposed future projects, while the world’s best interior designs will be named at the event.
