We have always known that Asia Pacific’s architecture and design community is rich with expertise, inspiration and a bold, exciting vision for the future of the built environment in our times.

As the 2018 INDE.Awards quickly approaches, our international jury is currently sifting through hundreds of entries from across the region – all demonstrating that Asia Pacific boasts some of this planet’s most progressive buildings, spaces, objects, proposals and practitioners. The spirit of our A+D community is currently being held up as an exemplar of forward-thinking, compassionate and democratic design. Design, that is, to articulate the future.

Our region’s top practitioners and most inspiring design minds have played an enormous role in bettering Asia Pacific – its economies, its material ecologies, and finally its political and socio-economic development – to break barriers of inequity.

The 2018 INDE.Awards is on a mission to celebrate our industry’s leading experts. Presented by the Official Partner for the 2018 Luminary Award – Wilkhahn, the global leader in design and manufacture of supreme-quality commercial furniture bearing the hallmarks of wellbeing, creativity and high-performance – we are asking YOU to help us decide who will be crowned your 2018 People’s Choice Luminary.
