2023 Architecture MasterPrize Awards: Showcasing Visionaries Shaping a Future Rooted in Sustainability
Los Angeles
The Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) proudly announces the winners of its 2023 Awards, recognizing visionaries who are reshaping our world through creativity, sustainability, and innovative architectural and design practices.
Celebrating its 8th anniversary, the AMP Awards continue the tradition of honoring and acknowledging exceptional projects that not only demonstrate architectural and design excellence but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability and human well-being.
This year’s AMP Awards brought together entries from multiple leading architecture firms and emerging talents globally, ranging from renowned groups like BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and Sir David Chipperfield to rising architects such as Omar Gandhi. The winners, a diverse group of architects, designers, and visionaries, have contributed significantly to their fields, ranging from sustainable urban planning to stunningly crafted interior design.
The jury panel, led by Valerie Schweitzer, features a distinguished assembly of top designers, architects, curators, and academics. Among them is Dr. Dawn Jourdan, Dean of the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland, and Dr. Sedef Doganer, the respected Dean of the School of Architecture and Design at Wentworth Institute of Technology, who brings a wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives to the judging process. In thoughtfully selecting the winners, the AMP jury panel faced the challenging task of evaluating exceptional submissions.
A Historic Tie in Architectural Design of the Year
For the first time in Architecture MasterPrize history, the Architectural Design of the Year title resulted in a tie, recognizing the outstanding ‘Sluishuis’ by Barcode Architects and BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group alongside the compelling ‘New Temple Complex’ by James Gorst Architects. This rare event reflects the remarkable quality of architectural brilliance and the dynamic nature of architectural discourse within the society, highlighting the robust contest and diverse range of talents in this year’s entries.
Valerie Schweitzer, Head of the AMP Jury, shared her thoughts on the selection process: “Humane architecture that fosters connectivity among all peoples and between man and nature is the signature of the 2023 AMP winners. In the architecture category, both winners establish a rational framework that integrates with the site’s unique environs, but also engenders an inner-architecture of soulfulness.”
The 2023 Architecture MasterPrize Architecture Awards Winners Include:
In a remarkable demonstration of excellence, certain entries have attained the ‘Best of Best’ title by advancing to the final round of voting across all categories. A partial list of these entries includes:

Schweitzer added: “As we live through a dark period of collective alienation, misunderstanding, and prejudice, we look to architecture not only to protect our increasingly fragile earth but to push its humanity toward greater dialogue and mutual respect of differences. Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s remarkable AMP, and also to the growing worldwide community of applicants who tirelessly push the boundaries of what our cities and structures can be.”

Prestigious awards to be given out during ceremony at the world-famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao on November 24
Los Angeles (October 18, 2022)
When it comes time to celebrate the latest and greatest in architecture, the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) has long been the premier global industry program.
And 2022 looks to be no different as they recognize some of the most prolific and forward-thinking architects of our era during the 2022 presentation of the architecture awards. During the Architecture MasterPrize awards ceremony, the best architectural projects, firms, products and photographers of the year will be recognized fittingly inside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
The award winners were selected through a multi round voting process by a jury panel of renowned architects, academics, and industry experts. Their selections showcase some of the best overall design, excellence and creativity in architecture in academia and the field.
This year’s Head of Jury was Valerie Schweitzer.
“What an honor to be head juror in AMP 2022,” Schweitzer said. “The entries were rigorously thoughtful, dynamic, and uplifting, and equally excellent was work from established names and unknown offices.”
In addition to their visually striking designs, the jury was impressed by how the award-winning entries demonstrated an amazing balance of form and function. The abilities displayed through this year’s entries are sure to inspire the next generation of architects. Their work today will echo through the future, as the works also reflect an increasingly important focus on sustainability.
This year’s AMP awards included four categories, including the second year of a photography category.
This years AMP awards included the first edition of the architectural photography program as well as our yearly programs celebrating the greatest architectural and product designs:
Along with an invitation to the Architectural Awards winners receive the AMP Winner Certificate and Winner Seal and benefit from the prestige and recognition that comes from the globally recognized prize and will be featured in the AMP Book of Architecture and the Winners Gallery on the AMP website.
The 2022 winners:
Architectural Product Design Award Winner:
Architecture Photography Award Winners:
“AMP is democratizing the field in attracting and recognizing the array of talent,” Schweitzer said. “My personal favorite was Sou Fujimoto’s House of Music in Hungary. Almost like an oversized garden pavilion, the synergy of nature, music and art create an architecture greater than the sum of its parts. I like the bold use of color, inventive integration of soaring trees at the ground floor, changing elevation, like a forest, and wonderful daylighting through the panoramic insulated glass. While playful and unifying, it still addresses the important practicality of acoustics that is so important for a music hall. In taking risks, the architect has managed to capture some of what Schpopenhauer meant when he called architecture ‘frozen music.’”
Winners will be celebrated during the architecture awards ceremony at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao on November 24.
Entries that achieved the “Best of the Best” designation by making into the final round of voting across all categories, will also be recognized. A partial list of those entries include:
The event will open with welcome drinks, giving attendees ample time to network with other successful candidates and industry professionals, followed by the ceremony with a dinner provided by Nerua and Michelin Star chef Josean Alija.

This fall, the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) Winners Gala is returning to one of the most iconic buildings of the generation – the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain. Ahead of the event, AMP team takes a closer look at what to expect at the 7th Annual Architecture MasterPrize Gala.
MOTION. AUTOS, ART, ARCHITECTURE
April 8, 2022 – September 18, 2022
Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture celebrates the artistic dimension of the automobile and links it to the parallel worlds of painting, sculpture, architecture, photography and film. In this holistic approach, the exhibition challenges the separate silos of these disciplines and explores how they are visually and culturally linked together.
The exhibition considers the affinities between technology and art, showing for example how the use of the wind tunnel helped to aerodynamically shape the automobile to go faster with more economic use of power. This streamlining revolution was echoed in works of the Futurist movement and by other artists of the period. It was also reflected in the industrial design of everything, from household appliances to locomotives.
The exhibition brings together nearly forty automobiles—each the best of its kind in such terms as beauty, rarity, technical progress and a vision of the future. These are placed centre stage in the galleries and surrounded by significant works of art and architecture. Many of these have never before left their homes in private collections and public institutions, so they are being opened up to a wider audience for the first time. Unlike any other single invention, the automobile has completely transformed the urban and rural landscape of our planet and in turn our lifestyle. We are on the edge of a new revolution of electric power, so this exhibition could be seen as a requiem for the last days of combustion.
