2020 was a year of unprecedented social, economic and environmental challenges, and presented us with a changing world that required resilience, creativity and adaptation to shifting norms in our work, home and play environments. These changes influenced the theme of 2021’s A+ Awards – “Architecture for a Changing World” – which celebrated the architects and designers whose works strives to create a more resilient built environment for the years to come.

The 2021 A+ Award winners feature innovative projects (both built and conceptual) by internationally renowned firms and emerging practices alike, and we are delighted to share this recognition with an exceptional project team that turned the renovation of Fountain Place into a timeless masterpiece- one that will create a more resilient, sustainable, human-centered built environment for years to come.
