World’s best new buildings shortlisted for world architecture festival awards

ALBAWABA - A mosque in Dubai, a skyscraper full of trees in Singapore, and a research facility for breeding pandas in Chengdu, China, are among the best new buildings in the world.

These striking buildings are part of nearly 250 completed projects that have been shortlisted for this year's World Architecture Festival (WAF) awards, with one building set to be named "Building of the Year" in December.

The awards include 18 categories covering residential, commercial, and cultural architecture, with winners in each category competing for the ultimate prize. The winners will be selected at the World Architecture Festival, which will be held in Singapore at the end of November by a panel of 140 veteran experts.
