Architecture changes lives as well as landscapes. The American Architecture Prize (AAP) is set to become one of the most respected awards in the industry and aims to showcase the phenomenal talent and vision displayed by architects all over the world.
We aim to recognize individuals and teams who have made a substantial contribution to all areas of architecture, who set new standards and push boundaries. Buildings clearly need to be practical and serve a purpose but AAP recognizes that excellence in architecture goes far beyond that.
We believe great architecture is about creating a lasting design that will remain for generations, inspiring people and enriching their lives. Innovative buildings, designs and landscapes can help redesign the way we live our lives for the better and enable us to make the most of the space we have.
