| | | | 20th edition: twenty years of commitment and 100 laureates Founded in 2006 by the architect and researcher Jana Revedin, the Global Award for Sustainable ArchitectureTM annually recognizes five architects, urban planners or landscape designers whose work embodies a responsible and innovative vision of sustainability. The 2027 edition will mark the 20th edition of the Award and bring the total number of laureates honored since its inception to 100. This internationally active and committed community shares a common ambition: to promote sustainable architectural ethics and to encourage research, experimentation and knowledge-sharing in the fields of architecture, urban transformation and social responsibility. Placed under the patronage of UNESCO since 2011 and supported by the International Union of Architects (UIA) since 2024, the Award has established itself as an international network of ideas and action. Much more than a think tank, the Global Award has truly become a do tank, where research, experimentation and knowledge sharing fuel concrete transformations at all scales. |

| | | | OPEN CALL - 21st EDITION (2028) "Architecture Is Circularity" Global Award for Sustainable ArchitectureTM is now accepting entries for its 21st edition, organized in 2028 around the theme "Architecture Is Circularity", under the patronage of UNESCO and the International Union of Architects. Deadline for submissions: January 29, 2027 How can circularity generate regenerative, resilient and forward-looking architectural solutions? How do circular relationships between resources, infrastructure and stakeholders strengthen local ecosystems and the resilience of regions? How does circularity reinvent architectural practices through interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge sharing, continuous learning and innovation? In 2028, the 21st edition of the Global Award for Sustainable ArchitectureTM will explore how cities and architecture can be designed as living, social and regenerative systems, incorporating planetary boundaries, ecological interdependence and circular economies. The five laureates will be announced at the 2028 Symposium, to be held in May in Paris, and their work will be celebrated in a dedicated publication, edited by ArchiTangle, highlighting their contribution to shaping the future of architecture.
