The second edition of the Ammodo Architecture Award<\/a> has recognized 26 recipients for their contributions to socially and ecologically responsible design. Selected from 168 submissions spanning over 60 countries, the laureates represent a wide range of practices, from established offices to emerging collectives and community-led initiatives. Each recipient receives a grant ranging from \u20ac10,000 to \u20ac150,000 to support the continued development of their projects. Beyond recognition and financial support, the Ammodo Architecture initiative also functions as a knowledge platform, connecting awardees across regions and facilitating the exchange of ideas on key themes identified by the advisory committee.<\/p>\n

This year’s selection spans six regions: Africa<\/a>, Asia<\/a>, Europe<\/a>, North<\/a> & Central America<\/a>, South America<\/a>, and Southeast Asia<\/a> & Oceania. The chosen projects address diverse urban and rural contexts, tackling issues such as housing, education, ecological restoration, and collective living. Common themes include adaptive reuse<\/a>, urban rehabilitation, the preservation of traditional knowledge, and the restoration<\/a> of natural systems. Each project responds to its specific environment while proposing new ways for architecture to strengthen communities, sustain ecosystems, and enhance everyday life.<\/p>\n
