Architectural Photography Awards 2022 Shortlist Announced
The best architectural photographs of the year were showcased, highlighting the beauty of sleek geometry, abstract silhouettes and industrial textures from around the world.
On Wednesday, the Architectural Photography Awards 2022 announced more than 20 finalists in categories including interiors, exteriors and used buildings. All shortlisted works will be featured at the upcoming World Architecture Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.
According to a press release, entries were judged on “composition, use of scale, and photographers’ sensitivity to atmosphere.”
Paul Finch, program director for the World Architecture Festival (WAF), said in a statement that “now that ‘everyone is a photographer’, the importance of good architectural photography has increased.” The award, now 10 years old, is “an annual reminder of how architectural photography can improve our understanding of design, and not just record what is,” he added.
The winners of this year’s competition will be announced in December at the World Architecture Festival.
