a play of light,
material and colour

the book of the best architects 26 award

The new best architects book is wrapped in a banderole of large circles. The openings between them reveal subtle glimpses of the fluorescent red linen cover. This creates an exciting interplay of material, colour and form, giving the cover a special depth. A light blue screen print lies on the bright red linen surface, creating a subtle shimmering effect that makes the title appear energetically charged. An extraordinary object that presents the award-winning works in a dignified form.  


89 winners in the
anniversary edition
of best architects 26


This year, the best architects award celebrates a special anniversary: for 20 years, it has been synonymous with pioneering architecture in Europe. This year's award-winning projects focus on very special qualities: resource conservation, reuse, social context and sustainability. Renovation instead of new construction, intelligent extension of existing buildings, responsible use of existing resources – all these factors characterise contemporary architecture.


The 428-page publication showcases the award-winning projects of the best architects 26 award, which exemplify the dynamic development of contemporary architecture. The comprehensive work is clearly structured into different subject areas (renovation & extensions, residential construction/single-family homes, residential construction/multi-family homes, office & administrative buildings, commercial & industrial buildings, educational buildings, public buildings and other buildings).
