The Festival will be an annual opportunity to compare and contrast the extraordinary range of designs created by a profession which has always looked beyond national borders to the wider world of architectural culture.

At the heart of the Festival will be the biggest architectural awards programme in the world.

Entrance and Eligibility
The 2008 awards are for buildings completed between 01 January 2007 and 20 June 2008. Buildings in any country, by architects of any nationality, are eligible for entry.

International juries will shortlist the best entries in 96 building types, grouped into 16 categories. All shortlisted architects will present their work to live juries and audiences at the Festival, competing against each other to become category winners.

Category winners will compete against each other in front of a super-jury, to win the "best in show" prize, the first architectural Prix de Barcelona.

All entries in the awards will be exhibited on site at the Festival in a gallery modelled on the Barcelona grid system, and after the Festival all entries will be permanently available on the WAF website.

Judging Criteria
Judges will be asked to take into account the criteria set out here. This document is an adaptation from a section of "Design Review", produced by England's Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE). It is used in the review of significant proposals, but works equally well as a way of assessing completed buildings. The criteria will not fit all entries in the same way, but will form a sound basis for judgement.

What makes a good building?
The Roman architect Vitruvius suggested that the principal qualities of well-designed buildings are "commodity, firmness and delight":
- Commodity: buildings should work well - they should be fit for the purpose for which they are designed
- Firmness: buildings should be soundly built and durable
- Delight: buildings should look good - their design should please the eye and the mind

These three criteria remain as sound a basis for judging architecture now as when they were conceived. Just as each design decision affects many others, so the three criteria are intertwined within the design process. Many of the aspects of a building which need to be taken into account when evaluating it will touch on all three.

They include:
- Clarity of organisation, from site planning to building planning. If the organisation of the plan and section are clear, then much else about the building falls into place.

- Order. Order helps us comprehend and interpret the built environment; it can manifest itself through symmetry (or asymmetry) and balance, through repetition of organisational or structural elements such as the grid, the frame or the bay; and through resonance between elements of different scales. 

- Expression and representation. A building’s appearance can tell us something about what purpose it serves; about its place in the order of the town or city; about what sort of spaces it contains; about how it is organised and put together.

- Appropriateness of architectural ambition. Architecture can be too noisy or too quiet. There are places for fireworks and places for modesty within the built environment – in relation both to a project’s context and to its purpose and status.

- Integrity and honesty. Is what you see what you get? If so, the plans, sections, elevations and details will all visibly relate to each other and build up to a coherent picture of the design.

- Architectural language. The design of a building will involve choices about matters such as whether to represent it primarily as a wall or as a frame structure, about patterns of solid and void and light and shade, and so on. In a good design, such choices will seem compelling and inevitable, with a recognisable relationship to the broad conception of the project and its setting; in a poor building such choices will often seem arbitrary.

- Scale. Scale is relative: a good design resolves issues of scale at all stages from masterplan to detail.

- Conformity and contrast. A good designer will have considered the relationship of a design to its context. This is not to imply that one of the aims of a design should necessarily be to ‘fit in’. At its worst, this can be little more than an excuse for mediocrity. Difference and variety can be virtues in new proposals as much as sameness and conformity, and of course different contexts themselves may be more, or less, uniform in their nature.
Orientation, prospect and aspect. A building’s orientation should take into account the implications for energy use as well as urban design issues. In relation to prospect and aspect, the design should have considered what happens at different times of day and night and at different times of year. The view from the window, and opportunities to see the sky and weather are as important in buildings such as offices and hospitals as they are in homes.

- Detailing and materials. The quality of the plans, sections and elevations should have been carried through to the level of detail; it is disappointing to see a promising project fail because of a lack of refinement in the detailing. The choice of materials is equally important and relates to an understanding of context as well as to questions of maintenance, durability, sustainability and the way the building can be expected to age.

- Structure, environmental services and energy use. In a well-designed building, it is likely that the strategies for dealing with these aspects of the design will be apparent from the plans, sections and elevations. Consideration should be given to opportunities for designing in energy and water efficiency measures, and for minimising waste and pollution wherever possible.

- Flexibility and adaptability. The ways in which a building and the parts of a building are used are likely to change over its lifetime. The technologies it contains will change as well. A good building will be flexible (able to accommodate changing requirements without major alterations where possible), and adaptable (capable of being altered or extended conveniently when necessary).

- Sustainability. For a masterplan, building or urban space to be truly well-designed it should be economically, environmentally and socially sustainable. This means thinking about whole-life costs rather than short-term economic returns; about using building materials, natural resources and energy efficiently and responsibly; about reduction of waste and emissions to land, air and water during construction and use, and about effective engagement with (and recognition of) the needs of stakeholders throughout the planning, design and construction process.

- Inclusive design. Buildings should provide equality of access for all. This means ensuring intellectual, emotional and physical access is considered at the outset of any project and remains integral throughout to prevent costly remedial work. Creative and lateral thinking should have been employed to find innovative and individual solutions, designing for real people with all the different needs they may have. In a well-designed building, appropriate management of inclusive design features will mean that a barrier-free environment is maintained.

- Aesthetics. We should not be afraid to ask about a building: is it beautiful? If it is, then the resulting lifting of the spirits will be as valuable a contribution to public well-being as dealing successfully with the functional requirements of the building’s programme.
