ZAV Architects Featured in Architizer’s best architecture and design firms in the world right now Architizer has unveiled its latest list bringing together a selection of leading architecture practices from around the world. ZAV Architects has been included in this year’s list. Beyond the award recognition, Architizer has highlighted ZAV’s engagement with local resources, materials, and labor, as well as its approach to redefining overlooked resources to create adaptable spaces. The profile also references ZAV’s 2025 Aga Khan Award for Architecture and describes the practice through the concept of “adopted aesthetics”—an approach in which architecture acts as a mediator between the state, investors, and local communities.
