World Buildings Directory – nice collection of data on all World Architecture Festival (WAF) finalists and winners, from the first Festival in 2008 to the most recent in 2013.  Search by project category (for instance Civic / Health / Landscape / Office / Structural / Transport), by country of project, by WAF year, by type of award (World Building of the Year / Category Winner / Shortlisted), and by keyword (for architect, town, or special features).

 

What you get for each project is a fairly detailed text description with photos and whatever plans, sections, and other drawings were submitted.  Basic information on the lead architect, associated firms, and sometimes suppliers is also provided.
