FRACTAL PROJECTS ARE FINALISTS AT WORLD ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL 2025

The World Architecture Festival (WAF) – the world’s leading live event celebrating architecture and design – takes place November 12–14, 2025 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida, USA. ⁠

WAF’s unique format invites architects and designers from around the world to present their shortlisted projects live to an international jury, followed by a direct dialogue – offering feedback, debate, and inspiration. This approach turns the conference into an open platform for architectural exchange, rather than just a competition.

Martin and Anastasija Lesjak will join the conference and present two finalist projects, the Fractal Chapel at the University Hospital in Graz, Austria in the category “WAF Interiors: Public Buildings ” and Mosh Bar & Dinner in Bukarest, Romania in the category “WAF Interiors: Bars and Restaurants,” both integrating fractal lighting installations, developed by 13&9 Design in collaboration with Fractals Research, live in Miami.

The 2025 theme, “Hearts and Minds,” explores how architecture connects rational thought and emotional experience – a philosophy that deeply resonates with our practice.
