OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE 2024 ASIA ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AWARDS

As a Chief of Judge and also a sponsor of AADA, Mr. Alberto Beretta, CEO I.F.O SRL shared his insights on AADA 2023 and Asian architecture.<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLdM-HWnWl4"></iframe><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/dbecf5569275179fd0f42a63dbf8799a.JPG">Mr. Alberto Beretta, CEO of I.F.O. SRL, Chief of Judges for the 2023 Asia Architecture Design Awards.The 2023 Asia Architecture Design Awards received an overwhelming response from talented architects, designers, and firms from various countries in Asia. The winners represent a diverse range of architectural typologies, showcasing the breadth and depth of talent in the industry.&nbsp;How do you assess the overall quality of the projects participating in AADA this year?Amidst the multitude of projects, I am pleasantly surprised to find that the average quality level surpasses my initial expectations. While some projects stand out significantly, elevating the overall standard, the average level remains commendably high.Which project stood out the most to you? And why?To be honest, it's difficult to pick just one, as several projects have left a lasting impression on me. Silhoutte, Magnificent Curve, The Eclipse, Mai Chau Culture resort, Pennant Thonglor, Dubai Heart, and Naokon all deserve mention. Each project impressed me for different reasons, but I can summarize their outstanding features as follows: an exclusive and unique design approach combined with in-depth research on rare yet innovative elements, resulting in spaces that are not only comfortable but also impactful. The ingenious use of materials, shapes, lights, and thoughtful orientation creates a distinct blend infused with the essence of Asian culture. These projects break away from the typical contemporary designs we often see today and offer a refreshing perspective on architectural creativity.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/df0e4500e2d7da9854a57a2e38fb5cf3.jpg">Project Naokon - 2023 Best Commercial Building Architecture DesignOne of the factors that make Asian architecture stand out is the incorporation of its unique cultural identity. How do you evaluate this aspect through the projects participating in AADA? Is there any project that has impressed you?Asian architecture truly stands out due to its remarkable incorporation of unique cultural identity. Evaluating this aspect through the projects showcased in AADA, I must say that I'm delighted to find some projects that beautifully capture the essence of Asian DNA.One particular project that has left a lasting impression on me is the Mai Chau Culture Resort. It stands as a shining example of preserving local culture, embracing the indigenous heritage, and adapting it gracefully to the evolving development trends of the times. The project has been designed as a conservation zone, artfully expressing and encapsulating the distinct culture of the Vietnamese nation. What sets it apart is the seamless integration of contemporary modern design elements that add a refreshing touch without overshadowing the inherent cultural charm.In essence, the Mai Chau Culture Resort manages to strike the perfect balance between honoring tradition and embracing innovation, making it a truly representative and significant example of Asian architecture's ability to harmoniously blend past and present.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/d4bb87707ef1d0560a3c11e2185b56df.png">Project Mai Chau Culture Resort - 2023 Best Resort Architecture DesignThe BEST RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN category is highly competitive with a large number of registered projects. With years of experience in this field, how do you evaluate the quality of these projects?Having considerable experience in this field, I can attest that the BEST RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN category is indeed highly competitive, with a significant number of registered projects.To be candid, my expectations were set for a greater number of high-quality Interior Design projects, given Asia's status as one of the fastest-growing and expansive regions in real estate development, boasting substantial financial capacities. Naturally, one would anticipate a positive impact on interior design due to these influential factors.Nevertheless, while the overall quality of projects didn't fully meet my initial expectations, I must acknowledge that three projects have truly stood out as exceptional in my opinion. Silhoutte, Magnificent Curve, and The Eclipse have demonstrated a level of excellence that elevates this category to new heights. These projects exemplify outstanding creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and an innovative approach that sets them apart from the rest, ultimately raising the bar for residential interior design.From the winning projects this year, how do you evaluate the position and potential for development of Asian architecture?Assessing the winning projects this year, it is evident that Asian architecture holds an immense potential for development. Currently positioned at a high level, it still has ample room for growth, presenting an opportunity to become a global reference in the field.To fully harness this potential, my suggestion is to focus more on the intricate details rather than solely on the scale of projects. It is the meticulous attention to detail that sets apart exceptional architecture. Emphasizing high-class details, materials, and methods of installation will undoubtedly lead to the creation of truly high-class projects that leave a lasting impact. By refining the craftsmanship and paying attention to every aspect of the design process, Asian architecture can continue to evolve and achieve even greater recognition on the world stage.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/6d002d8c11f29611168ac9a13d6d78a6.jpeg">Project Silhoutte - 2023 Best Residential Interior DesignAs one of the sponsors of AADA 2023, what factors or inspirations have driven the collaboration between I.F.O SRL and AADA?As a partner of AADA 2023, the collaboration between I.F.O SRL and AADA has been driven by several factors and inspirations.Firstly, I.F.O SR was established with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality contract interior design services, catering exclusively to VVIP clients, Archistars, and renowned hospitality brands.

AADA Chief of Judge: Asian architecture truly stands out due of unique cultural identity

The Winners’ Night of the 2023 Asia Architecture Design Awards was successfully held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, with the presence of numerous architects, designers, and top experts in the fields of architecture, real estate and hospitality from 12 Asian countries.

The Winners’ Night of 2023 Asia Architecture Design Awards - Celebrating Groundbreaking and Innovative Projects

Mr Tan Quee Peng, General Director of RSP Vietnam and esteemed jury member of the 2023 Asia Architecture Design Awards, shares insightful reflections on the prestigious architectural accolade, the awarded projects, and the future potential of Asian architecture.<iframe src="https://youtube.com/embed/WUl_f4aoL5A"></iframe>What is your overall assessment of the projects participating in AADA this year?As the inaugural launch of the Asia Architecture Design Awards (AADA), we have witnessed a diverse array of projects showcasing various scales, constraints, and approaches. The outstanding works displayed remarkable sensitivity and ingenuity in their response to the concept, context, site limitations, and program requirements. These projects have left an impressive mark, and as a member of the judging panel, I am delighted to recognize and honor their exceptional achievements.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/5bd44af9b9219048ad5e54d3ba082ab3.JPG">Mr Tan Quee Peng, General Director of RSP Vietnam and esteemed jury member of the 2023 Asia Architecture Design AwardsWhich project impressed you the most? What is the reason?As an architect, I have encountered numerous impressive projects across different architectural sectors, but what truly captivated me is the essence of domesticity, which holds a special place in my heart.Among the multitude of architectural projects, one project that left a profound impression on me is "The Ngõ." It is a work that artfully transforms the remnants of a narrow alleyway, or "ngõ" in Vietnamese, between shop houses into a space that exudes the essence of Vietnamese culture and tradition. Delicately crafted, this work navigates the interplay of light and shadow, guiding one through a mesmerizing journey of small, well-defined spaces. What captivates me most is the central courtyard, where three generations of a family converge.The meticulous use of materials adds a touch of simplicity and elegance to the overall design. I find myself captivated by the subtle beauty and thoughtful execution of this project, making it a true masterpiece of residential design in Vietnam.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/6c3229d55940fb292cbbd094324fa731.jpg">Project The Ngõ.In recent years, the trend of integrating architecture with environmental elements and enhancing sustainability has been widely applied not only in Asia but worldwide. How do the projects participating in AADA reflect this trend?There are several remarkable projects that exemplify the sustainability trend, but two particularly stand out to me. One of them is the Earth House, which impressively utilizes tamped or ramped Earth walls, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainability. Internally, the connection with the earth's sensibility is striking, while the clever wall placements offer privacy, shade from solar heat gain, and breathtaking views. Furthermore, the owner's dedication to sustainability shines through as they have implemented strategies for achieving net-zero electricity, food self-sufficiency, and water harvesting.The second project that caught my attention is the landscaping endeavor in Sikanderpur forest, India. Here, a disused mining site undergoes a brilliant transformation. Addressing the challenge of diverted flooded water away from the area shows their ingenuity in dealing with environmental constraints. Moreover, their prudent use of on-site materials and recycled construction materials for in situ construction speaks volumes about their environmental consciousness. The design, thoughtfully integrating with the contours and colors of the landscape, further underscores their commitment to sustainability.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/21441dce153b02dcf19833ce8fd5078f.jpg">Project The Earth House.One of the prominent factors that makes Asian architecture stand out is the incorporation of unique cultural identity into architectural designs. How do you evaluate this aspect through the projects participating in AADA? Is there any project that impressed you?When discussing the unique cultural identity of Asian architecture, we find a delicate balance between preserving traditional cultures and fostering innovation. The most exceptional and successful designs achieve a captivating dialogue between these two aspects while abstracting their ideas. An excellent illustration of this can be seen in the Dhawa interior design project, where the craft of Quy Nhon culture harmoniously integrates with contemporary design.In the Aayi House of India, a charming simplicity takes center stage, expressed through a varied use of colors, uncomplicated furnishings, and carefully chosen materials. The result is a warm and intimate atmosphere, evoking a sense of home.On the other hand, the Silhouette House embraces a dark and modern aesthetic sensibility. Though highly abstracted, this design thoughtfully incorporates oriental ornaments, effectively representing the cultural identity of the homeowner.Even in the realm of furniture design, cultural inspiration shines through. A notable example is the TonKin furniture, drawing from the straw dunes found in rice fields. Through abstraction, unique coffee tables and stools are created, capturing the essence of this traditional idea in a highly artistic form.These examples underscore the essence of Asian architecture's cultural identity, skillfully blending tradition and innovation to create captivating and meaningful spaces.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/302b97a5421f2d883f3509c0d320f94e.jpg">Project Dahwa Quy Nhon.From the winning projects this year, how do you assess the position and potential for development of Asian architecture?I think many have said that this is actually the Asian century and much of Asia and Asian architecture has become and will become the new center of the world.The region's abundant cultural heritage provides a rich source of inspiration for reimagining modern architecture. The subtlety and sensitivity ingrained in Asian culture serve as a well of creative ideas that can be interpreted in various architectural sensibilities.One fascinating aspect is how Asian architecture artfully balances space and form's materiality, effectively creating a sense of tension. The translation of spatial hierarchy into distinct architectural forms, as well as the exploration of notions of space, privacy, and publicity, all contribute to the captivating allure of Asian designs.In Southeast Asia, particularly, the influence of climate becomes evident in the translation and evolution of architectural spaces. Architects ingeniously incorporate elements like moving window screens to harmonize with weather conditions, temperature, and natural light, while thoughtfully addressing matters of publicity and privacy.I think the position and potential for development of occasion architecture bodes well in the future for Asia and the world at large.
