The 87 nominated projects fall into six categories: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Graphics, Product, and Transport. Of interest here is the Architecture category, which consists of nearly twenty projects (six more than last year) ranging from small-scale installations to high-profile cultural buildings. The full list is below, with short, teaser descriptions courtesy of the Design Museum.

A winner will be selected in each category and one overall winner will be announced on 15 November 2018. Beazley Designs of the Year will be on display from 12 September 2018 to 6 January 2019 at the museum's Kensington home.

Last year's Design of the Year (both Architecture and Overall) was the National Museum of African American History and Culture, designed by David Adjaye/Adjaye Associates in partnership with The Freelon Group, Davis Brody Bond and SmithGroupJJR.
