Buildings are shortlisted in 33 categories, including hotel/leisure, office, and culture, and the awards are open to finished projects and those that are yet to be completed.
Category winners will be announced on the evenings of the first and second day of the festival. The judges, which this year include architects Will Alsop, Jim Eyre and Ben van Berkel, will then award one of the category winners the title World Building of the Year 2012.
The World Festival of Architecture is being held between 3 and 5 October at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and conference centre.
