The Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) is gearing up for its 8th anniversary, an event that honours visionaries in architecture and design who contribute to environmental sustainability and human well-being. This year, the celebration will honour the exceptional achievements of both the 2023 and 2024 winners.
The AMP awards are open to submissions worldwide, accepting entries from architects all around the globe.
