AR Future Projects 2025
This major award for uncompleted projects was launched in 2002, and has become one of the most sought after awards to win for projects that are still on the drawing board, or on site.
The awards cover twelve sectors and are intended to celebrate excellence in unbuilt and projects on site, that have the potential for a positive contribution to communities, neighbourhoods and urban landscapes around the world. They have historically been awarded in conjunction with the MIPIM property conference.
