Jul 20, 2015 10:45 am | Pete Hicks For the first time since its inception a decade ago, the prestigious “Best Architects” competition was opened to design firms from across Europe, rather than solely Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. This wider field yielded 354 submissions, of which 80 received the “Best Architects 16” accolade. Nine of those entries earned the coveted “Best Architects 16 in Gold” award for outstanding quality, including five buildings designed with Vectorworks Architect software. Graber Pulver Architekten received two Gold awards for both the Energiezentrale Forsthaus in Bern, as well as the Musée d’ethnographie de Genève.

We’re proud to say that over 40% all firms recognized this year are Vectorworks Architect users. Check out the “Best Architects” gallery to see the full list of winners.
