Today, the Secretariat of the Prix Versailles is releasing the Shops & Stores, Shopping Malls, Hotels and Restaurants that have joined the World’s Most Beautiful List.
Selected based on a systematic media review and a call for submissions, each chosen site is a testimo- ny to remarkable architecture and design in the six Prix regions spanning the globe: Africa and West Asia; Central America, the South and the Caribbean; North America; Central Asia and the Northeast; South Asia and the Pacific; and Europe.
As an extension of this recognition, these projects also compete for the Prix Versailles 2023 World Titles, which will be announced in mid-December 2023.
The names of the World Judges Panel members for 2023 will also be released on that occasion.
In accordance with the programme’s objectives, the Prix Versailles encourages the creation of archi- tecture capable of driving intelligent sustainability worldwide, in a way that takes its environmental, social and cultural impact into consideration.
