The Plan Award 2023

THE PLAN Award is an annual international prize that recognizes excellence in architecture, interior design, and urban planning. With twenty-one different categories and over a thousand submissions every year, THE PLAN Award is an important opportunity for architects, designers, urban planners, and planners to participate in an international community and contribute to the discussion of the key issues affecting the industry today.
The winning projects will be featured on THE PLAN’s digital platforms and through dedicated coverage. All shortlisted projects will be published on THE PLAN website, while an entire page will be dedicated to each winner and honorable mention in the special book THE PLAN Award, which will have worldwide distribution. The quality of this competition is underscored by its international jury, made up of leading figures in the architecture, design, real estate, and academic fields.
