Dezeen reveals the world's 31 leading studios shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2022

Dezeen has announced the studio shortlist for this year's Dezeen Awards, which includes studios Alexander & Co, Populous and Objects Of Common Interest.

The 31 shortlisted studios, which are in the running for awards in six different studio categories, are located across 19 different countries including Australia, Canada, Thailand, Poland, Mexico and Greece.

The top three represented countries are the US with three shortlisted entries, followed by the UK and Spain with three each.

Five studios are shortlisted in each category apart from architecture studio of the year, which has six studios shortlisted.

The shortlisted studios include New York's Fogarty Finger, shortlisted in the interior design studio of the year category, Shanghai-based Atelier Tao+C, shortlisted in the emerging interiors studio of the year category and Japanese studio We+, shortlisted in the emerging design studio of the year category.

The studio categories celebrate all-around excellence over a body of work produced by architecture, interiors and design studios. The judges also take into account the work ethic and studio culture of the practice itself.

All shortlists announced this week

The shortlists were scored by our jury, which includes architects Sou Fujimoto and Yasmeen Lari, Rolf Hay of Danish furniture brand Hay and 2023 Sharjah Architecture Triennial curator Tosin Oshinowo.

The architecture, interiors and design shortlists were announced earlier this week and the sustainability and media shortlists were revealed yesterday.
