All Dezeen Awards 2024 longlists revealed this week

Dezeen Awards 2024, in partnership with Bentley, will reveal all longlisted projects this week. The architecture longlist was revealed yesterday and the design longlist will be announced tomorrow, followed by the sustainability longlist on Thursday.

"I'm delighted to return as a judge for Dezeen Awards, and support Bentley's commitment to championing great design," said Chris Cooke, head of design collaborations at Bentley.

"For me, one of the highlights of this year's interiors longlist is the thoughtful connection to nature in many of the projects, fostering a sense of harmony between the built environment and the natural world."

Longlisted projects have been selected from over 4,130 entries from 82 countries for the seventh edition of our awards programmes, which continues to champion design excellence and showcase innovation from architects and designers around the globe.
