Entra nel vivo il World Architecture Festival 2022: il più grande evento internazionale dedicato all’architettura si sta svolgendo in questi giorni a Lisbona, con un ricco programma di talk, conferenze e panel discussion e, naturalmente, con la proclamazione dei progetti vincitori nelle diverse categorie previste dal premio, incluse quelle dell’INSIDE World Festival, l’evento parallelo dedicato all’interior design. Il tema dell’edizione di quest’anno del WAF è "Together": la tre giorni nella capitale portoghese (dal 30 novembre al 2 dicembre) rappresenta infatti l'occasione per architetti e designer da tutto il mondo di confrontarsi sull'utilizzo collettivo dell'architettura e dello spazio pubblico, ma è anche il momento conclusivo del contest, durante il quale vengono annunciati i vincitori e presentati tutti i progetti shortlisted.
Nella giornata di ieri, mercoledì 30 novembre, nella cornice del FIL Exhibition Centre, è stato svelato un primo gruppo di 20 vincitori, mentre oggi vengono annunciati i restanti 21, per un totale di 41 categorie. Finora sono state inoltre conferite 22 menzioni d’onore. Nella giornata finale dell’evento, venerdì 2 dicembre, su tutti i vincitori nelle diverse categorie verranno decretati quattro premi globali: World Building of the Year, Future Project of the Year, Interior of the Year e Landscape of the Year. Questi saranno proclamati durante la cena di gala (grand Gala Dinner) e la cerimonia di premiazione (Awards Ceremony), insieme agli special prizes.
