The winning submissions this year range from infrastructure projects, such as the Lille Langebro pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Copenhagen, to museums and memorials including the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama. David Chipperfield Architects has won two prizes, for its cube-shaped office block in Seoul and the James Simon Galerie in Berlin.
Other projects on the list include Hooba Design Group's design for brick manufacturer Kohan Ceram, a Tehran office building clad in a specially-designed type of brick with glass inserts.
A collaboration between Herzog & de Meuron and Purcell, which saw the two firms combine conservation and adaptive reuse to create the Tai Kwun arts centre in Hong Kong, is another winning project.
