AR Future Projects awards 2027

The only major international award dedicated entirely to architecture in progress, AR Future Projects has spotlighted work shaping tomorrow's cities since 2002.

Spanning 14 categories, the awards celebrate excellence in projects in construction and on the drawing board, and the potential for positive contribution to communities, neighbourhoods and landscapes around the world.

Entering the awards puts your work in front of a panel of highly respected judges and on a global stage. All entries are published in the AR Future Projects awards catalogue, available to all readers of The Architectural Review , and winners are invited to a private event held in Milan during the Salone del Mobile in April 2027.

In addition to future work, there is also interest in unbuilt and speculative projects and ideas currently being tested and investigated.

All entries must be submitted no later than Friday 4 December 2026.
