The A’ Design Award’s annual Accolades reward the top designers worldwide in all design disciplines. It is a peer-reviewed, anonymously judged international award whose aim is to provide a platform for these designers to showcase their work and products to a global audience. This year's edition is still open for entries until the Late Deadline on February 28th, with winners announced on April 15th; designers can register their submissions here today!
Entries will be judged by A' Design Award's jury of hundreds of experts from around the globe including scholars, professionals and media members. Winners of an A' Design Award receive a trophy alongside a host of other benefits: a certificate, inclusion in an exhibition, inclusion in a yearbook publication, winners' badges, an exclusive interview to be featured on the A' Design Awards website, inclusion in the world design rankings, an invite to a gala night hosted by the awards for networking, feedback notes from the award jury, and participation in an extensive PR campaign.
One of the things that makes the A' Design Award unique is its exceptional scale, with over 100 design categories in which awards are presented. In addition, there are also seven super-categories that each encompass multiple design categories. This article will feature a round-up of some of the best work in the Good Architectural Design super-category, which includes the following: Architecture, Building, and Structure Design; Interior Space and Exhibition Design; Landscape Planning and Garden Design; Urban Planning and Urban Design; and Engineering, Construction, and Infrastructure Design.
Although there’s not one single category for the “Good Architecture Design Award,” it could be awarded to projects in any of the above eligible categories. The award considers the planning, design, and construction of projects that are functional, beautiful, and durable. In line with the field of architecture’s multi-disciplinary nature, judges consider the big picture for the projects that qualify as Good Architectural Design. Overall spatial design, user experiences, aesthetics, and facilities implementation are all considered before bestowing an award.
