Architecture changes lives as well as landscapes. AAP – The American Architecture Prize™ is set to become one of the most respected awards in the industry and aims to showcase the phenomenal talent and vision displayed by architects all over the world.
AIM
We aim to recognize individuals and teams who have made a substantial contribution to all areas of architecture. We celebrate those who push boundaries and set new standards. Buildings clearly need to be practical and serve a purpose, but the AAP recognizes that excellence in architecture goes far beyond that.
We believe great architecture is about creating a lasting design that will remain for generations while inspiring people and enriching their lives. Innovative buildings, designs and landscapes can help redesign the way we live our lives for the better and enable us to make the most of the space we have.
If you’re an architect, builder, engineer, or interior designer, this is the platform to showcase your work.
The American Architecture Prize is awarded for single projects. Explore The AAP “Firm of the Year Award” for recognition of the full body of work of your firm.
