3D Printing Challenge: Design the ArchDaily Building of the Year Trophy

The ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards is one of the architecture world’s most influential and democratic award series, celebrating the best architecture around the world as chosen by YOU, our readers.

By nominating and voting, you form part of an interdependent, impartial, distributed network of jurors and peers that has consistently helped us highlight architecture of every scale, purpose, and condition, from countries large and small, and architects of all descriptions. 

This is why we decided to trust our community in the design of The Building of the Year trophy, in a way to celebrate this community-based award.
