The 2012 Graduate Architecture Projects

The Short-List: Graduate Architecture Award 2012

The Graduate Architecture Award 2012 Short-List is proud to present the TOP 25 projects of 2012 (a total of approximately 10%). This year's selection has been a tremendously difficult choice to make as there were a very large amount of great projects to be seen. We feel very confident in the selection of some of the best projects we have had so far, encompassing a wide range of competencies in architecture, urbanism and design. The winners will be announced on October 14th 2012. In the mean time please take a moment to visit all projects and 'like' or share them with your friends. Best of luck to the remaining candidates and for the contestants that did not make it through, we would like to let you know it has been an extremely difficult process in choosing a short-list. All projects were of extremely high standard and you can all be proud of the work you have done. We thank you for your participation and wish to see those of you back who are planning to continue a study.
