“The annual Year in Construction Photo Contest marks new beginnings at Engineering News-Record (ENR)—it’s traditionally the first print edition at the turn of the calendar year. It also gives editors and readers a chance to look back at the incredible feats the industry has accomplished in the past 12 months.
This year, readers came out in force during their call for images that artistically capture the work performed at jobsites throughout the world, with 1,056 entries to the contest that judges assessed to make this year’s selections.” The 40 winning photos were evaluated individually on their photographic merits, but a common theme united the winners, which was a “similar beauty in their geometry, with symmetry, harmony, bold lines or shapes,” according to judge and senior art director, Scott Hilling.

There are a number of exciting projects that are set to be completed in 2023 within the United States. Dezeen gives us a peak at what’s to come this year with 10 special architecture projects. The list includes a cavernous extension at the American Museum of Natural History, which will act as a connector to classic buildings on the site, the earliest dating back to 1874. Across the county, a mixed-use tower as part of a 28-acrea development in San Francisco will show off a pixelated façade, clad in red-colored material, evoking the project’s namesake. You can learn more about these high-profile projects below.
