“This year’s standout projects demonstrated that true innovation often lies in the careful refinement of details and the intelligence of assembly methods. In an era where timelessness is key, these works prove that architecture’s power resides not just in bold gestures, but in the depth of thought behind every junction, material choice, and spatial experience.”
