WAF 2022 announces finalists for the Special Prizes, celebrating exceptional architectural merit.

The Small Project of the Year Prize is awarded to the best completed project that is small for its type. These finalist projects represent the ingenuity and craftsmanship of architects designing within restricted parameters. The Prize celebrates projects small in scale but big on innovation.

World Architecture Festival (WAF) has announced the 2022 Special Prize shortlist, ahead of this year’s festival which takes place in Lisbon from 30 November–2 December.

Included in this year’s shortlist is Ravenscar House by Pattersons Associates, a house museum that was commissioned in 2015 to be a reimagining of the Wakefield’s family home, which was damaged beyond repair by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Ravenscar House now houses their art collection in a series of ‘living rooms’.

Patterson Associates project architect Andrew Mitchell says it’s great to see a really strong contingent from Aotearoa this year and this Special Prize shortlisting is a much-appreciated acknowledgment for the team.

The projects shortlisted for the Special Prizes are selected from across the greater WAF Awards shortlist to shine a light on the submissions that exhibit an outstanding use of Engineering, Colour, Natural Light and Certified Timber, as well as the best Small Project of the Year Prize.

This year sees two inaugural new prizes, The Futureglass Prize supported by Aestech and The Royal Fine Art Commission Trust International Building Beauty Prize supported by Ballymore. 

The shortlisted projects are:

The finalists in each WAF Awards category will be announced within the coming weeks and will go on to compete live at WAF Lisbon, with the overall winner to be revealed at the Gala Dinner.
