The NY Architectural Design Awards 2026, organised by the International Awards Associate (IAA), is open to architects, designers, and studios from around the world and celebrates excellence in architectural design nationally and internationally. The 2026 edition carries the motto “Build for Tomorrow” stressing the role of architecture in shaping communities, combining beauty with sustainability.
