After two weeks and more than 15,000 nominations, we are proud to announce the finalists for the 2010 Building of the Year Award, a selection of the finest architecture made by our readers.
70 projects in 14 categories are running for the award, and the finalists list is incredible. From headquarters of large corporations, luxury hotels and incredible museums, to a temporary bar, a parking building and small apartments. The list of offices includes renowned international practices such as Herzog & de Meuron, Foster + Partners, REX, BIG, to small young firms from Sweden, Portugal, Slovenia and more.
I’d like to thank everyone who participated during the nominations round, the selection is amazing!
You can vote for your favorite projects starting today and until Feb 13th at midnight EST (all the rules here):
