Building of the Year 2018: Nominations open for the award honoring the best Spanish-language architecture

With the launch of ODA18, this year we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Building of the Year Award (ODA), the premier award in the Spanish-speaking architectural world where the winners are chosen by popular vote. Starting today, Monday, March 12, and for two weeks, our readers will be responsible for determining which projects inspired us during 2017, faithfully representing the identity of our local contexts while shaping the way architecture is practiced around the world.

Over the next two weeks, the entire ArchDaily en Español network (Plataforma Arquitectura, ArchDaily México, ArchDaily Colombia, and ArchDaily Perú) will host this celebration of the best built architecture in Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.

Nominate and vote for your favorites now!
