Winners of WAF 2021 – Completed Buildings

The World Architectural Festival (WAF) (WAF) is an annual festival where designers and architects from all over the world gather and share ideas, seek inspiration, learn and interact, and exchange ideas with other architects globally. This prestigious event is the most extensive award program in the realm of architecture that showcases mind-blowing projects of world-renowned architects in a three-day program. Additionally, while people can visit the main festival hall to learn about the most up-to-date technologies and products, some may crave the inspiring talks of global speakers on the web stage. WAF lends support to approximately 550 selected architects to present their projects to a judging panel in real-time in crit rooms. The awards winners are listed on the festival’s official website each year.

The WAF 2021 winners are categorized in Completed Buildings, Landscape, and Future Projects. In this article, we will be delivering the Completed Buildings Category winners.
