The\u00a0Prix Versailles<\/a>\u00a0has unveiled the winners of the 2025 World Titles, honoring outstanding achievements in architectural and interior design. In total, 24 projects were recognised as the \u2018world\u2019s most beautiful\u2019 projects in categories spanning museums, hotels, restaurants, emporiums, airports, campuses, passenger stations, and sports. The projects were chosen from an extensive list of finalists which Archinect has reported on over recent months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year, the Prix Versailles challenges us to look beyond aesthetics alone and to evaluate architecture and design as a force capable of shaping the world we inhabit,\u201d jury chair Irina Bokova said about the projects. \u201cIt invites us to measure creativity not only by its boldness, but by its integrity \u2013 its ability to respond to cultural context, to uplift communities, and to contribute meaningfully to a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the jury for this year\u2019s edition were architects Ma Yansong<\/a> and Thom Mayne<\/a>, alongside actress Emma Watson, pianist Lang Lang, conceptual artist Leandro Erlich, fashion designer Iris Van Herpen, and actress and film director Maria de Medeiros.<\/p>\n
