More than 365 days later, from more than 400 entries, and across 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region, all eyes were turned on Sydney for the inaugural INDE.Awards Gala Night. In what is undeniably a very proud accomplishment for the A+D community in this region, the INDE.Awards represents one of the very first concerted efforts to elevate Asia Pacific design to the global stage.

Naturally, we have always known that our collective creative endeavour is just as cultural as it is personal. But it is also awe-inspiring to note that from the more than 400 total entries for the INDE.Awards, it has become clear that some of this planet’s most progressive buildings, spaces, objects, proposals and practitioners stem from our small little pocket of the world.

With a spirit that can only be characterised as forward-thinking and compassionate, our A+D community has played an enormous role in bettering our region – its economies, its material ecologies, and finally its political and socio-economic development – to break barriers of inequity.

Pushing us to new frontiers and actively creating a better world, we look to our region’s leading design-thinkers to celebrate their work in an ongoing narrative of excellence. As such, we were thrilled to have Zenith  – the 60-years-young commercial design powerhouse – bring you the INDE.Awards 2017 Official Viewing Party live from Singapore.

The Gala and Ceremony was broadcasted from Sydney to Zenith’s satellite ceremony in their stunning showroom in Singapore. From Australia to South-East Asia, Zenith has ensured that the region is united, demonstrating their power of global mentorship for the visionary possibilities of design.

The INDE.Awards would not have been possible without Zenith’s generosity. We are very grateful to have their partnership for the 2017 INDE.Awards to ensure that ours is a design culture that matters – that matters outside our borders – and will always continue to do so. We wish to thank Zenith for their ongoing commitment to celebrating and fostering the A+D community across our region. Zenith is your Official Platinum Partner for the 2017 INDE.Awards
