World Architecture Festival announces the winners of 2022's Architectural Photography Awards

The best architectural photographs of the year have been revealed, highlighting the beauty of sleek geometry, abstracted silhouettes and industrial textures from around the world.

More than 20 finalists were announced by the organizers of the Architectural Photography Awards 2022 in categories including interiors, exteriors and buildings in use. All of the shortlisted entries will be displayed at the forthcoming World Architecture Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.

According to the press release, entries were judged on composition, use of scale and the photographers sensitivity to atmosphere.

The importance of good architectural photography has been increased, according to Paul Finch, program director of the World Architecture Festival WAF. The award, in its 10th year, is an annual reminder of how architectural photography can enhance our understanding of design, rather than merely recording what is there, he said.
