The Americas has become a hub for modern architecture and the WAN Awards Americas acknowledge and celebrate the diverse array of architectural styles, multi-cultural influences and the bold cutting-edge styles synonymous with the region.

Designed with this in mind, these Awards will recognise and shine a light on the amazing architecture being delivered by the innovative, visionary and imaginative architects in this region.
