This stunning annual hardcover book celebrates the most inspiring contemporary architecture from around the world. This year, Architizer has partnered with The Monacelli Press - a leading publisher of illustrated books on architecture, visual art, interior design, landscape architecture, photography and applied arts - to publish the definitive compendium of the 2021 A+Awards winners.

Founded on the premise of democratizing architecture, the A+Awards is the industry's largest and most international awards program. Through this platform, the organizer honors the best architecture, spaces and products from around the world. For the ninth consecutive year, Architizer's A+Awards have attracted impressive creative and technical talent from around the world, with thousands of projects submitted for judging.

In response to global upheaval, this season's theme - Architecture For A Changing World - highlights those designs that are transforming society and the built environment for generations to come. The projects featured this year uniquely respond to impending global challenges such as climate change, urbanization and migration, increasing inequality, and pandemics.
