Entries have opened for the 2018 World Architecture Festival awards program. This year the World Architecture Festival will relocate from Berlin to Amsterdam and will be held at the RAI Convention Centre from 28 to 30 November.

An international judging panel has also been announced, including a four-person “super jury” that comprises David Adjaye (principal, Adjaye Associates), Nathalie de Vries (director and co-founder, MVRDV), Mohsen Mostafavi (dean, Harvard University Graduate School of Design) and Li Xiadong (founder, Li Xiaodong Atelier).

Practices entered in the awards’ 31 categories will present their projects to a number of juries. Architects of the projects eligible for the World Landscape, Future Project and Completed Building of the Year awards will make a final presentation to the super jury.

New Zealand members of the more than 130-person jury pool include Hamish Monk (principal, Monk Mackenzie Architects) and Jeremy Smith (design director, Irving Smith Architects).
