The category Architect of the Year recognises the best emerging and established players in architecture and architectural practices whose work has significantly impacted the industry. The winner has been selected by the Dezeen Awards jury and the Dezeen editorial team.
“Together with our clients and partners we work to create long-term values that enrich our communities, improve quality of life within planetary boundaries,” said Alexandra Hagen.
“We have a strategy of seeking new knowledge through working internationally. The interest for Scandinavian architecture and the growing pressure for a shift to sustainable development in the industry has strengthened our international presence in recent years. “Today we have employees in Sweden, Norway, UK, Germany, Canada and East Africa.”
Dezeen Awards is an annual awards program identifying the world’s best architecture, interiors, design, and sustainability projects, as well as the studios and the individual architects and designers producing the most outstanding work. Longlisted projects were selected from over 4,800 entries from 94 countries.
“Scandinavia’s largest architecture practice has the thoughtful output you would expect of a much smaller studio,” said the judges. “Over 70 years since it was founded, the shared-ownership studio has been a leading voice in the drive towards more sustainable buildings.
“A leader in timber construction, the studio has pledged that every building it designs will be carbon-neutral by 2030.”
