The Architecture section includes five categories such as Residential, Commercial, Hospitality, Public building and Cultural building, in addition to the Architecture Project of the Year category, with the same accolade included for interior design.
Additional categories for architects include Outdoor Design and Project of the Future.
Entries for the Awards are now open to architects and interior designers across the Middle East and North Africa, with the Gala event set to take place on the 4th of November, 2020. The venue will be announced soon.
