We are delighted to announce the 16-strong shortlist for the AR Emerging awards 2022. This year’s shortlist includes architects designing educational spaces in urban Europe as well as on Pacific islands, and public spaces from Somaliland to Greece. Practices are experimenting with sustainable materials such as stone, bamboo and charred timber, and working with existing buildings, from a brutalist university in France to ruins in China.
The 16 shortlisted practices will present their work to our jury, including previous AR Emerging winners Carla Juaçaba and Rahul Mehrotra, as well as Lisbon local Inês Lobo, at the World Architecture Festival in Lisbon at the end of the year – join us to meet the shortlist and the judges, grab a copy of the issue and find out who the winner is on Thursday 1 December.

First launched in 1999, the AR Emerging awards grant early recognition to young designers and celebrate the architectural stars of tomorrow. Since 2018, the awards have recognised a body of work rather than a single building, and aspiring candidates share a small portfolio of three projects with us: a completed building, a work in progress, and an idea. Early winners include Shigeru Ban, Thomas Heatherwick and Sauerbruch Hutton – more recently, Carles Enrich Studio, Comunal, Avenier Cornejo and Frida Escobedo have been winners.
The winner will receive a £5,000 prize and a second practice will be awarded the Peter Davey Prize, now in its fourth year and selected by the AR editors in tribute to Peter Davey, former AR editor and founder of the awards. The winners will take home a specially commissioned trophy and all finalists will participate in a series of panel discussions and have their work exhibited at WAF.
