The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) has announced the 39th annual Wood Design & Building Awards program. The influential awards program recognizes and celebrates the outstanding work of architectural professionals around the world who achieve excellence in wood design and construction.

A record 181 nominations from 25 countries were submitted an 24 winning projects were selected.

“The jurors agreed that the winning projects demonstrate skilled applications of wood – from the warm, acoustic enhancement of a concert hall to the transformative adaptive re-use of an old industrial building into a beautiful multi-function space. All the structures were incredibly rich and well crafted,” said Stephane Langevin of STGM, one of this year’s jurors and an award-winning architect.
