The Open Buildings People’s Choice Award

New for WAF 2011 is the introduction of the Open Buildings People’s Choice Award which is being supported by openbuildings.com. The Open Buildings People’s Choice Award provides architecture and design enthusiasts with an opportunity to express their opinions and is the first major award where the public and not just industry insiders vote for the building they think deserves to win. The public can compare their choices to the opinions of some of the world’s most regarded architects to determine the winner of Open Buildings People’s Choice Award.

To view the shortlisted projects, cast your vote and provide comments, visit: http://openbuildings.com/peoples_choice/waf/browse. Votes can be cast by selecting the Facebook ‘like’ icon on the project page or by downloading the Open Building mobile app from iTunes.  The closing date for casting votes in the Open Buildings People’s Choice Award is October 28, 2011, when the top three projects will be debated and the final winner announced live at WAF in November.
