Heather Dubbeldam to be a judge at the 2025 World Architecture Festival in Miami

We are delighted to share that our founding principal, Heather Dubbeldam, has been selected as a judge for the 2025 World Architecture Festival (WAF), which will be held this November in Miami, Florida—marking the first time the prestigious event takes place in North America.

As one of the most significant global architecture events, WAF brings together leading voices from across the industry to celebrate design excellence, innovation, and sustainability. This marks Heather’s second consecutive year as a judge, following her participation in Singapore in 2024. She will once again join an international panel of esteemed architects and design leaders who will evaluate groundbreaking projects from around the world.

As the only awards program where all finalists present their projects live to a panel of judges and an audience of peers, WAF fosters real-time discourse, debate, and feedback. This peer-to-peer exchange allows for deeper reflection on innovation and valuable lessons from projects worldwide.

Heather’s appointment as a judge recognizes her ongoing leadership in progressive design and her contributions to shaping the future of the built environment. Her participation also highlights our firm’s growing international presence.
Stay tuned for more as we follow Heather’s journey at WAF 2025!
