AZURE is an award-winning magazine with a focus on contemporary architecture and design. Since its launch in 1985, it has earned a global reputation for excellence. Its international perspective and multidisciplinary coverage – which puts architecture, interiors, products, landscapes and urbanism together in a real-world scenario – make it distinct from any other publication available on newsstand
The results are in! It is our immense pleasure to introduce and applaud the AZ Awards 2026 winners, all 28 of them from around the globe, whom we officially celebrated at the AZ Awards Gala last night! Collectively, the winners represent the state of architecture and design — and it’s encouraging and inspiring to honour these projects, products and concepts that exemplify not only aesthetic prowess but also a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
In addition to the winners chosen by our international jury, we also raise a glass to our People’s Choice honourees, selected by an online vote. In some cases, the people agreed with our official panel — in most others, as we are always delighted to see, their opinions and allegiances diverged dramatically. We are proud to present them all here, and also to celebrate them again in our Summer 2026 edition of Azure, out soon! In that issue, we also fête our Emerging awards winners, which have their own dedicated announcement.
