With 16 of the world’s best architects and designers on the INDE.Awards jury this year it’s shaping up to be a singular awards program and one not to be missed.
February 24th, 2021
The 2021 INDE.Awards has commenced and this year is shaping up to be the best on record. Now in its fifth year, the INDE.Awards is the pre-eminent architectural awards in the region and the only programme that encompasses the entire Indo-Pacfic in its scope and celebrations. Through INDE, we invite designers and architects to showcase local design in a forum that elevates its shortlisters and winners to the global stage.
With many high caliber projects already entered in this season’s awards, 2021 promises to be a challenging year for the jury as they decide who is to be shortlisted and who will be afforded the ultimate accolade of category winner. It’s not an easy job. The time it takes to read submissions, view images, decide and vote is critical, however, with the best projects and practices to review every consideration must be given to every entry. Many of the judges have been with the INDEs since its inception, some have returned from other years, while there are some new faces among this esteemed group.
This year, as always, the INDE.Awards jury is composed of the leading experts throughout our region and the world. Together they bring to the process their expertise and knowledge and the collective design experience is certainly unparalleled.
This year’s formidable INDE.Awards jury consists of 16 judges from Australia, Indonesia, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Denmark, Hong Kong, India and Thailand and they are,
