For the 11th time since 2005, the Detail Award recognises built projects that have captivated both the international jury and the readers of DETAIL. Among the awards is the Students’ Award, which drew participation from 55 universities in 42 countries – spanning from China to Hungary. New for 2024 is the Circular Building Award, celebrating architectural achievements in circular architecture for a sustainable future.
This issue of DETAIL magazine showcase the winning projects, including the recipient of the Students’ Award and the winner of the Readers’ Award, which received 486 out of 2133 votes in the online poll. Notably, this year’s awards celebrate projects by architecture firms and universities across Europe – from Denmark to Spain and Switzerland. A first look at the winners is presented within these pages, with full jury statements and further details available on our website.
This December issue also turns to masonry architecture, with explorations of natural stone traditions in France’s Bouches-du-Rhône region, the Brighton College campus in southern England, and Denmark’s brick building heritage.
