World Architecture Festival

Hosted this year in Berlin the World Architecture Festival showcases the works of both Architects and interior design professionals from various locations across the globe. Over the three day event many different buildings and spaces from all over the world are assessed, scrutinised and shortlisted for many categories.

The locations of the winning buildings varied vastly from urban Lebanon to an aquatic centre in Canada. A winner slightly closer to home is situated inside Oxford University's Middle East Centre at St Antony's College. This design was produced by Zaha Hadid Architects “The new Investcorp Building for the Middle East Centre provides 1,127 square metres of additional floor space and a new 117-seat lecture theatre; doubling the space available for the Middle East Centre’s expending library & archive and providing optimum conditions to conserve collections” - Zaha Hadid Architects.
