Eighteen years ago, a pioneering digital platform emerged, founded by two architecture students with a vision to revolutionize how architectural content is shared globally. This foundation continues to inspire our mission: to champion the future of architecture as it is continually shaped in academic settings worldwide. Our commitment to supporting students who are actively driving this evolution led to the establishment of the Student Project Awards, designed to acknowledge their creativity and forward-thinking contributions to architectural discourse.
We are excited to reveal the extensive longlist for the inaugural ArchDaily Student Project Awards. Following a rigorous selection process, our dedicated team of architects and editors meticulously reviewed hundreds of entries from across the globe. This resulted in a curated list of 104 outstanding projects. The participating students represent a rich tapestry of the architectural field, with submissions spanning every continent, various stages of academic pursuit, and a wide array of scales and typologies, truly reflecting the profession's dynamic nature.
A heartfelt thank you extends from our editorial team to every student who contributed their project to this groundbreaking edition of the Awards. Your efforts underscore the vibrant future of architecture. Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement of the shortlist on March 16, 2026.
This initiative highlights ArchDaily's enduring dedication to nurturing emerging talent and promoting architectural excellence. By recognizing student innovation, we contribute to a brighter, more imaginative future for the built environment. These awards serve as a powerful testament to the boundless potential within architectural education and the profound impact these young designers will have on our world.
