AP Valletta has won the Architizer A+ 2024 - Public Choice Award, in the Best Adaptive Reuse and Renovation Firm category, a major recognition of AP’s overall portfolio of work rather than of a single project.
The awards counted thousands of submissions from around the globe, with entries from over 80 countries. Each project was selected by a distinguished jury of leading architects, including names such as Carlo Ratti, the curator of the upcoming Venice Biennale of Architecture. AP Valletta emerged as the ‘Popular Choice winner’ in the Adaptive Reuse and Renovation Firm category, rubbing shoulders with another internationally acclaimed firm Neri&Hu, which was chosen as ‘Jury winner’ in the same category.
The 12th Annual A+Awards are organised by Architizer, one of the most influential architectural awards programmes on the international scene, celebrating best practices in contemporary architecture. In this edition, Architizer announced an unprecedent number of submissions. The judges noted that the winners demonstrated a collective commitment to creating a more sustainable future. ‘‘I can see a clear and interesting trend towards re-using, rethinking and re-making. In order to reduce CO2 emissions, this approach is more important than ever, and I’m thrilled to see so many projects moving that direction this year.” Monica von Schmalensee (CEO, White Arkitekter and A+Awards Juror).
AP Valletta has been recognised for its contribution to the preservation and rehabilitation of built heritage, which has been creatively reimagined to improve the environmental, social and economic performances of buildings. By increasing the longevity and efficiency of existing buildings, and reducing the need for demolition and new construction, AP are contributing to spearheading a sustainable approach to architecture, challenging the status quo with regards to the perception and preservation of our heritage.
Architizer will celebrate the winners of the Architizer A+Awards this Autumn, in New York.
