At ArchDaily, we don't believe that "expert" juries are necessary to determine quality architecture. We trust you, our readers, to select the buildings that - due to their beauty, intelligence, creativity, or service to the community - represent the best architecture of the year. You haven't let us down yet. You narrowed down the list from thousands to 5 per category, and now to 15 stunning winners. So, from all of us at ArchDaily, thank you - and here are YOUR winners!
