More of the year's best architecture from day two of World Architecture Festival 2017
A "slightly ugly" shopping centre and a woodland holiday home shaded by two broad roofs are among the category winners announced on the second day of the World Architecture Festival 2017 awards.
Now in its tenth edition, the World Architecture Festival (WAF) showcases the best architecture built around the world in the last year.
The winner of each category will be put forward for the title of World building of the Year, which will be selected tomorrow.
Dezeen is media partner for both the WAF and Inside festival of interiors, which are taking place at Arena Berlin in Germany until 17 November.
Here are the full details of category winners from WAF day two:

Two of the three buildings comprising the home can be occupied by the family and their friends, while the third provides semi-outdoor space.
"This is about architecture, not as a frozen expression in time, but as an evolving expression of life," said the judges. "A project with environmental considerations at heart and the stewardship of one of depleting resources, the forest."
