Detail 12.2024

This December, for the 11th time since 2005, the Detail Award recognises built projects that have captivated both our international jury and our readers. Among the awards is the Students’ Award, which drew participation from 55 universities in 42 countries – spanning from China to Hungary. In this issue, we showcase the winning projects for the Detail Award 2024, including the recipient of the Students’ Award and the winner of the Readers’ Award, which received 486 out of 2,133 votes in our online poll. Notably, this year’s awards celebrate projects by architecture firms and universities across Europe – from Denmark to Spain and Switzerland.
Our December issue also turns to masonry architecture, with explorations of natural stone traditions in France’s Bouches-du- Rhône region, the Brighton College cam­pus in southern England, and Denmark’s brick building heritage.
