In 2024 the Golden Trezzini Awards set a new record: 1 318 projects were submitted from 55 countries. The exhibition will present 34 award-winning projects from Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Iran, Russia, Thailand, and Taiwan, as well as over 40 projects that were finalists. The exhibition includes not only designs of buildings, structures, and interiors, but also works in the fields of restoration, set and exhibition design, urban sculpture, and architectural ceramics. Special attention is given to winning entries by students from architectural universities.
The opening ceremony will take place on 3 September at 16:00 in the conference hall of the State Museum of the History of St Petersburg.

For the public, the exposition will be open at the Gosudarev Bastion of the Peter and Paul Fortress from 4 to 16 September in accordance with the museum’s opening hours.
The exhibition “Architecture as Art” is a unique opportunity to explore new architectural and design projects from different countries around the world that the Golden Trezzini Awards experts have deemed worthy of inclusion in a museum collection.
The International Golden Trezzini Awards for Architecture and Design were founded in St Petersburg in 2018 and named after Domenico Trezzini (1670–1734) – the first architect of St Petersburg, creator of the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Twelve Colleges building, and other masterpieces of Petrine Baroque.
The main trophy of the Awards is the gilded statuette of Domenico Trezzini. The Awards are organized by the Worldwide St. Petersburg Club.
The Award is conferred for outstanding contributions to architecture as an art form. Its goal is the museification of the finest examples of architectural creativity. It is the only international award whose winning projects are recognized as holding museum value. Laureates’ works enter the collection of the State Museum of the History of St Petersburg and are exhibited annually at the “Architecture as Art” exhibition in the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The International Council of the Awards is chaired by Mikhail Piotrovsky – President of the Worldwide St. Petersburg Club and General Director of the State Hermitage Museum. Experts from 35 countries serve on the Council and jury. Since its inception, over 5 100 projects from 113 countries have competed for the Awards. Projects from 29 countries have won awards between 2018 and 2024.
