Completed Building Hotel and Leisure: Architecture Workshop - Lindis Lodge, Omarama, New Zealand (cover picture)

Jury notes: "Poetic, inspiring secluded lodge, sensitively considered, hence seated elegantly within its extreme weather open landscape. An innovative piece of parametric architecture assembled by local labour on site. Most sustainable project from water treatment, heating, cooling, natural ventilation, insulation; just amazing!"

Qasr Al Hosn: Al Musallah by CEBRA CEBRA

Completed Building Religion: CEBRA - Qasr Al Hosn: Al Musallah, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Coal Drops Yard by Heatherwick Studio Hufton+Crow

Completed Building Shopping: Heatherwick Studio - Coal Drops Yard, London, United Kingdom

Bayalpata Regional Hospital by Sharon Davis Design Sharon Davis Design and Possible Health

Completed Building Health: Sharon Davis Design - Bayalpata Regional Hospital, Achham, Nepal

Jury notes:"This is an example of when architecture provides more than a building. Although modest in scale and architectural expression is delivers a massive leap in healthcare provision in a region with scarce resources. A great example of an architect listening closely and responding intelligently to site and situation. The building is rooted in its site through its use of onsite materials and has impeccable zero carbon design credentials."

Villa B by Powerhouse Company Bas Princen

Completed Building Villa: Powerhouse Company - Villa B, Munich, Germany

Jury notes:"Architecture self-knowingly precision engineered to meet quality expectations beyond luxury."

Oasis Terraces by Serie + Multiply Architects Hufton + Crow

Completed Building Mixed Use: Serie + Multiply Architects - Oasis Terraces, Singapore

Jury notes:"Oasis Terraces aims high to achieve civic dignity when it turns every day functions into a space of higher importance, and turns an empty plot in a social housing area into a crown jewel. The project displays a very successful integration of disparate programmes into a coherent composition, which appears very adaptable to alternative uses. The flow of pedestrians and admirable accessibility, with moments of emptiness, combine to produce a beautiful composition of build form and landscape."

KOKUGAKUIN UNIVERSITY Learning Center by NIKKEN SEKKEI Nozomu Shimao

Completed Building Higher Education and Research: NIKKEN SEKKEI - KOKUGAKUIN UNIVERSITY Learning Center, Tokyo, Japan

Jury notes:"The new learning centre solves complex urban challenges in a way that looks effortless, creating a modern shrine in the centre of Tokyo. The building has a poetic relationship with both city and ancient shrine precinct."

75.9 House by Omer Arbel Office Omer Arbel Office

Future Project House: Omer Arbel Office - 75.9 House, Surrey, Canada

Jury notes:"The judges felt that the combination of the experimental process with fabric form concrete tightly contained within its external frame but internally and spatially arranged making incidence, opportunity and surprise in the relationshipbetween thebuilding and landscape. The hollow column capitol creating the containers for pink magnolia trees to set an at roof level was sublime."

Badaevskiy Brewery, Redevelopment by Herzog & de Meuron and APEX project bureau Herzog & de Meuron

Future Project Residential: Herzog & de Meuron / APEX project bureau - Badaevskiy Brewery, Redevelopment, Moscow, Russia

Jury notes: "Striking at first glance, this project turns out to be a clever and considered example of 'critical conservation' - a brave juxtaposition of old and new that reinterprets the use of pilotis at the urban space."

Psychiatric Clinic, Nuuk by White Arkitekter AB, DIFK Dipl.-Ing. Florian Kosche, F Engineering AS White Arkitekter and Luxigon

Future Project Health: White Arkitekter AB / DIFK Dipl.-Ing. Florian Kosche / F Engineering AS - Psychiatric clinic, Nuuk, Nuuk, Greenland

Jury notes:"The only facility for the whole island dealing with a range of psychiatric disorders. Climate change is being addressed. An important institution in the community with the architecture respecting the environment."

De Meelfabriek by Studio Akkerhuis Studio Akkerhuis

Future Project Commercial Mixed Use: Studio Akkerhuis - De Meelfabriek, Leiden, The Netherlands

Jury notes:"The proposed project (now under construction) revitalises an abandoned industrial site, formerly a flour factory, into a new piece of city with a wide range of uses. The Meelfabriek is a cluster of buildings, largely retained, partially removed to improve permeability and public spaces. Located on the historic green/blue fortification, the Meelfabriek connects routes to the old city centre, and a ring of green parks. Exposing the inner beauty of the internal heroic structures cleverly gives a new value to the historic structures. Twelve buildings on two and a half hectares, comprising 55,000m2, housing, offices, arts centre, sports facilities, and public access to the tops of the buildings - a truly mixed use complex which is permeable to the public thanks to this mix of functions. The Meelfabriek could serve as a model for other industrial brownfield sites."

THE CULTURAL CANYON - Rebuilding Baghdad Design Center by DESIGN & MORE INTERNATIONAL DESIGN & MORE INTERNATIONAL

Future Project Competition Entries: DESIGN & MORE INTERNATIONAL - THE CULTURAL CANYON - Rebuilding Baghdad Design Center, Baghdad, Iraq

Jury notes:"The cultural canyon reveals a delicate layering of history with a humble and respectful approach towards inherent cultural values of its site. Its novelty stems from a rich re-interpretation and rigorous research of meeting path in the urban public realm."

The Tanks at Bushwick Inlet Park by STUDIO V Architecture Studio V Architecture and Ken Smith Workshop

Future Project Experimental: STUDIO V Architecture - The Tanks at Bushwick Inlet Park, Brooklyn, USA

Jury notes:"The Tanks at Bushwick Inlet Park embrace a collaborative process that integrates community needs and ideas in the architectural process while preserving industrial heritage. The notions of regeneration, re-rehabilitation and re-appropriation activate the healing of a site, both socially and ecologically."

The School in a Park by Maisam Architects & Engineers Maisam Architects & Engineers

Future Project Education: Maisam Architects & Engineers - The School in a Park, Amman, Jordan

Jury notes:"This new campus for the old established school demonstrates sensitive balance between preserving historic memories and creative, new architectural statement."

The New GoDown Arts Centre by White Arkitekter White Arkitekter

Future Project Culture: White Arkitekter - The New GoDown Arts Centre, Nairobi, Kenya

Jury notes:"Strong social and anthropological studies leading to consultation and participating client relations. Multidisciplinary and international team. Combination of social, traditional and environmental objections clearly articulated. Good use of local materials and construction. Clear idea of inhabilitation articulated in presentation - but a strong sense of the need for spontaneity throughout the public spaces. Courtyard appears vibrant and believable."
