After an intense week of nominations, the collective intelligence of ArchDaily has evaluated over 3,500 projects and narrowed down the list to 5 finalists per category.
We were very happy to see the level of participation from our readers - over 15,000 individuals expressed what architecture means to them through the buildings they chose.
And we have to congratulate you, as the finalists are outstanding. From all over the world, by firms of all sizes and trajectories, ranging from community-built projects to large scale complex programs, these buildings all have one thing in common: excellent architecture that can improve people’s lives.
You can vote for your favorite projects starting today and until January 30th, 2014 (read the complete rules).
Remember that the two projects with the most votes will receive an HP Designjet T520 ePrinter, and that we are going to give away two iPad Minis to our readers during the final voting stage.
The winners of the two iPad Minis from the nomination stage are: Shelby Nease and Kristen Johnson (you’ll receive an email shorty).
Make your voice heard - vote for your favorite projects for the 2014 Building of the Year Awards!
