This article presents a selection of outstanding winners from the Good Architectural Design category. Good Architectural Design is planning, designing and devising buildings that are more functional, aesthetic and durable. It is preparing clear instructions for constructing the building as planned. Good Architectural Designs tend to be identified as timeless artifacts, durable and reliable by the population and they shall be equally easier to maintain. Architectural Design at large; i.e. Spatial Design can be macro such as urban design, landscape architecture and buildings constructions or it could be micro such as interior design or public-art. Thus, when we discuss Good Architectural Design, we shall focus on the grand picture of spatial design which is concerned with interior and exterior forms together with communication designs, the user experiences through aesthetics and facilities implementation plus the civil engineering aspects and of course any and all social, psychological and socio-psychological impacts.
The selection made here represent the most important mission of the contest: to create global awareness and understanding of good practices and design principles, promoting designers, companies, and brands around the world to create superior products and projects that benefit society.
