More than 2,000 architects recently descended on the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore for the eighth annual World Architecture Festival (WAF), which bestows top honors on a host of dazzling new and upcoming buildings. This year’s celebration included presentations from more than 350 finalists in 34 categories, including best designs for higher education, religion, residential, infrastructure, and master planning.

The program also hosted dozens of panels and seminars conducted by industry leaders from a range of renowned firms, such as Skidmore, Owings and Merrill; Bjarke Ingels Group; and Níall McLaughlin Architects. This year, the winner of WAF’s most coveted award—the World Building of the Year—was the Interlace, a striking residential complex located in the festival’s host city and designed by architect Ole Scheeren of OMA. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most inspiring victors from this year’s festival.
