A humble suburban school in Australia has fended off competition from skyscrapers, museums and airport terminals to be named World Building of the Year 2024.
Darlington Public School, in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, beat more than 220 other shortlisted designs to win the coveted annual prize at the World Architecture Festival in Singapore on Friday.

Opened last fall, the project combines an angular brick campus building, featuring a distinctive βsawtoothβ roof, with landscaped outdoor spaces, including a large basketball court and a community garden. Softly curved metal screens surround a series of open-air terraces, allowing daylight to filter in while protecting studentsβ privacy.
A school had long been on the south Sydney site, though the old 1970s building was no longer fit for purpose, according to fjcstudio, the design firm behind the project. The Sydney-based architects said their new design had βradically transformedβ the school to offer βnew and contemporary learning environments,β though the project was intended to βcapture the spiritβ of the original campus.
Housing a preschool, kindergarten and primary school, the new campus will be able accommodate more than 500 students, according to the schoolβs website. A two-stage building process meant classes were able to continue throughout construction.
In its project description, fjcstudio said Darlington Public School had βstrong connections to Aboriginal people.β The design firm said it helped preserve this cultural heritage by putting indigenous art in the school hall, entrance reception and classrooms. Aboriginal murals that had been painted on the old schoolβs walls were meanwhile reproduced in the new buildingβs cladding.
Speaking after Fridayβs announcement, Alessandro Rossi, associate at fjcstudio, said: βItβs very humbling given the modest scale of the building β itβs a little school project, so to have won against all the other big projects at WAF is a testament to the client and the community engagement that helped drive the design process. The real winners are the children who will spend time in the building β a place of enrichment for many years to come.β
A ring found among the debris of Floridaβs recent hurricanes awaits its owner

Scattered across Floridaβs hurricane-ravaged communities are piles of debris, remnants of what were once homes. Cherished memories β photo albums, family heirlooms, and tokens of love β swallowed by floodwaters and carried miles away, are now reduced to mere fragments and discarded amid the wreckage.
But in one of these piles of lost memories, a small, inconspicuous velvet black box was discovered with a ring and a note that read: βI was 18 when my parents gave it to me.β

Now, Joe Kovach, the engineer managing one of the debris sites in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where the box was found, is searching for its owner.
βEveryone has been basically dumping their entire lives onto the curb after the storm when everything flooded. My own bossβ house had 30 inches (of water) in it, and I saw his face and just how devastating it can be for everyone,β Kovach, an engineer with Pinellas County Public Works, told CNN.
βA lot of people in the community were really affected by these two storms, if thereβs just a little bit I can do to give back, then thatβs perfect.β
A contractor, who was gathering and condensing debris with an excavator, discovered the ring when he looked down and saw the box.
βThis was a needle in a haystack for sure. For something like that to survive all that when everything else was so wet and saturated, that was kind of incredible,β Kovach said.
Although the ring was found after Hurricane Milton, Kovach is sure the treasure was initially lost amid the ruins of Hurricane Helene, based on the pile of debris it came from, which Pinellas County Public Works tracks. It is likely the owner of the ring is from Crystal Beach, Ozona, or Palm Harbor, Kovach said.
On Tuesday, after the contractor informed him about the ring, Kovach posted a photo of the box and the note on several local community Facebook pages, asking if it belonged to anyone. He did not include a photo or description of the ring to ensure it is returned to the rightful owner who can accurately describe it. On the inside lid of the box is a gold engraving with the jewelry brand, βThe Danbury Mint.β
