For the first time ever, the World Architecture Festival (WAF) is coming to London in June.

WAF, a high-profile architecture festival, will put on an exhibition during the London Festival of Architecture, which runs from 1-30 June 2015.

An exclusive exhibition, hosted by WAF, will showcase its 2015 finalists on 24-27 June, in London, prior to the announcement of the winners of the sought after World Architecture Awards.

The exhibited projects will then go in front of an international jury at WAF in Singapore in early November.

Last year's awards were dominated by leisure projects. In a statement at MIPIM, programme director Paul Finch commented: “This is a new chapter for WAF and it is the first in a series of exciting global initiatives that are currently in development to significantly raise the profile of the global architectural communities.”
