The award itself was founded on the premise of democratizing architecture and is considered to be the largest and most international awards program honoring the best architecture, spaces, and products from across the globe.

After an immense period of anticipation, and thousands of online votes, this year’s winners were recently announced. The winners include innovative projects and products by renowned industry leaders and emerging talents alike. To see a complete list of Jury Winners and Popular Choice Winners, keep reading.

The UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is expanding to accommodate the growing demand for the Center’s services. The two-year transformation expands the current Center by adding 10,000 square feet and a new patient-centric footprint. Within the new Center will be expanded and renovated clinic areas, including 22 physician exam rooms. The infusion area is expanding to 28 chemotherapy bays with a focus on calmness, healing, and comfort, in addition to upgrades to the existing pharmacy. For this project, MillerClapperton is fabricating 5,600 square of Fiber Cement material.

In honor of World Photography Day, ArchDaily “gathered a list of 10 BIPOC architectural photographers from around the world who are worth knowing – and following on Instagram. The photographers themselves have also been recognized on several lists that are being constantly updated in order to promote diversity in the photography industry. The idea behind these platforms is to allow Architects, Designers, Creative Directors, and art consumers in general, to discover photographers that identify themselves as Black, Indigenous, People of Color available for assignments and commissions.”

Public spaces have been at the core of urban planning for decades and given today’s unusual social constraints, these spaces have emerged as fundamental elements of cities and neighborhoods. As resident’s look to parks and plazas as a way to get out in the world safely, they have become more vital than ever before, and a way to incorporate nature into the urban fabric. These spaces can have a positive impact on health, and they also generate recreational space to exercise, play, meet, and socialize with others. Quality public and open spaces are key to fostering connections in urban centers.

Recommendation: An Interview with Imagen Subliminal

Thanks to World Photography Day last week, we have seen our fair share of photography collections and award announcements. Don’t get us wrong – we enjoy them – but the duo behind Imagen Subliminal, a Madrid and New York based photography and film studio, says that “architectural photography needs to loosen up its language.” ArchDaily sits down with Miguel De Guzman and Rocio Romero to discuss how their work has changed through the years and photography’s contemporary and future role in architecture.
