ARCHMARATHON 2017 Finalists Announced

ARCHMARATHON, an event that celebrates architecture and interior design from Canada, USA, Central and Latin America, has announced 42 finalist projects that will be presented during a three-day long gathering at the Faena Forum in Miami. The central theme of the event is the relationship between design and human beings. The organizers explain, “Before being a client, a user or broker, human beings are individuals who use, enjoy and experience the end result of the design and construction process, whether it be time at giving shape to a chair, an apartment, a building or a city.”

The finalists were chosen by an international jury consisting of ArchDaily’s founders, David Basulto and David Assael, and Luca Molinari and Francisco Pardo. The format of the event has been designed to provide networking and exposure opportunities that allow architects to continue to produce award-worthy architecture. The finalists listed below will head to Miami to participate in the event at the newly-opened, OMA-designed Faena Forum during October 12-14, 2017.
