Finalist Projects to be Presented Live at the SHARE Architecture Festival 2025
All 117 finalist projects will be presented live during the SHARE Architecture Festival 2025, which takes place from 3–5 December at the Zumtobel Light Forum in Dornbirn, Austria — a venue internationally recognised for its alignment with sustainable innovation and lighting-focused architectural research.
This immersive, curated environment will host:
- Two days of live jury presentations
- Lectures by globally influential architects
- Architect-led dialogues and roundtables
- Exhibitions and interdisciplinary workshops
The event is made possible through the special support of Zumtobel, serving as both host and partner in fostering design discourse at the intersection of architecture, technology, and sustainability.
A Jury of Global Architectural Leaders
The jury is co-chaired by two prominent figures in the architectural world:
- Martha Thorne (Spain), Chair of the Jury — Former Executive Director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize
- Peter Murray (UK), Honorary Chair — Chairman of New London Architecture and The London Society
They are joined by a distinguished panel of practicing architects and thought leaders, including Ana Flor (Studio Gang, USA), Habibeh Madjdabadi (Iran), Yevgeniya Pozigun (Zaha Hadid Architects, UK), François Valentiny (Luxembourg), Manuelle Gautrand (France), Rainer Schmidt (Germany), Francisco Mangado (Spain), Fernando Menis (Spain), Ian Ritchie (UK), Fuensanta Nieto (Spain), and Oskar Norelius (White Arkitekter, Sweden).
A Platform Dedicated to Architectural Excellence in Emerging Regions
The SHARE Architecture Awards were created to elevate the visibility of architectural production across a part of Europe and Asia often underrepresented in global conversations. The awards are defined by a clear mission:
“To foster dialogue between tradition and innovation, contemporary needs and cultural heritage, and to celebrate architecture as a critical instrument for social, urban, and environmental transformation.”
Beyond recognition, the awards facilitate cross-border professional exchange, encourage inclusive and sustainable architectural practices, and connect emerging studios with global voices in design culture.
