Great innovations can change and reset the standards of a field, which is why mechanisms to measure and reward these achievements are so important. This is the very reason for being for the Singapore-based Asia Awards Organization, an enterprise that develops and promotes creative excellence in various fields. Its sole mission is to showcase the groundbreaking achievement and societal contributions, with the belief that excellence can be found in companies of all sizes.

Recognizing Creativity in Asia Sets New Benchmarks

Experts predict that 2023 will be a challenging year for all sectors/industries as the global economy hits the recession's peak, directly affecting people's spending levels. In that context, competing with peers in the industry to stand out and attract customers is a crucial task.The field of architecture, design and construction in Vietnam is projected to face a situation of low construction demand and high competition with both domestic and foreign competitors in 2023, forcing businesses to seek out new development orientations.<blockquote><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/c766aa7754bfa30301e9b1fd7ef064e3.jpg"></blockquote>Conference hosted by AAO: Why architects should really tell their stories?Currently, Vietnam does not have an exchange or a common platform for individuals and companies in the industry to promote themselves, making it difficult for customers to search and choose. Even when customers need to select a designer, a construction company or an architect that suits their needs on the Internet, it could be more streamlined. Most new clients come through referrals or brokerage and consulting firms.Many individuals or companies in the industry need to be aware of the importance of creating a prominent brand to attract customers, thus directly promoting sales and business growth. There is an opinion that architects and interior designers prioritize the quality of the work over making a name for themselves, the company or the project itself. Because of that, we have a situation where Vietnamese architects are good at building people's homes, yet could improve in terms of building their own brands.To create a space to share, find ways to break down limitations and provide&nbsp; direction on branding in the field of architecture, the Asia Awards Organization (AAO) and Vietnam Design &amp; Build Center co-organized the seminar "Why Architects should really tell their stories?".The event is part of a series of monthly activities in many Asian countries of the Asian Architecture Design Awards (organized by AAO) with the desire to promote the growth of the Asian architecture and design industry.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/d4be203142c1df029fdad061d8c2e83c.jpg">Mr Tan Quee Peng, Board of Advisor of Asia Awards Organization talked about personal branding for Vietnamese architects.Participating in the seminar will be experts with extensive experience in the fields of real estate, architecture, interior design, and marketing, including: Mr. Dylan Yip, Vice President of Partnership Development, Asia Awards Organization Pte. Ltd; Mr. Gianfranco Bianchi, CEO of Italian Atelier; Mr. Nguyen Tien Huy, CEO Pencil Group; Mr. Tan Quee Peng, Green Mark Manager, General Director at RSP Vietnam; and Ms. Nguyen Anh Trang, Account Director, Creative Head of MVV SNP.According to Mr. Yip, with a lengthy history of culture and skilled workers, Vietnam's architecture industry has great potential for development, reaching out to the region and the world if some existing limitations can be overcome. This is why AAO organizes free seminars to create opportunities for knowledge exchange and to ignite the growth of Vietnam's architecture industry.The conference took place from 2 PM to 5 PM on February 26th at Hanoi, Vietnam

In the context that Vietnamese architects are not only subject to fierce competition within the country but also with foreign architects, positioning and raising the brand are essential factors.

WHY ARCHITECTS SHOULD REALLY TELL THEIR STORIES?

The Singapore-based Asia Awards Organization is an enterprise that develops and promotes creative excellence in various fields. To this end, the AAO will host three major award events in 2023.

The idea for "Thang Hoa" was born when the Bat Trang Museum was invited to participate in the prestigious exhibition of dance art, "When we do not let go", which honored classical and contemporary dancers. The presence of Ngo Thuy To Nhu, an esteemed ballerina with almost 50 years of dedication to her craft, left a lasting impression on the creators, and they decided to pay tribute to her through this unique piece.The lampshade features the distinct ballet foot shape, sculpted from traditional Bat Trang ceramics. The craftsmen engraved the Vietnamese traditional knot pattern into the ceramics and added layers of enamel, resulting in a mesmerizing depth and richness to the piece. The lampshade, made from luxurious velvet, showcases hand-embroidered knot patterns, beautifully connecting the foot and the lampshade in a soft and harmonious manner.What sets "Thang Hoa" apart is the fusion of materials and techniques rarely seen together in traditional artwork. The collaboration between craftsmen from Bat Trang pottery village and Thuong Tin embroidery village exemplifies the lamp's mission to preserve and promote the values and beauty of traditional Vietnamese culture and craftsmanship. The labor-intensive process of creating "Thang Hoa" pushed the artisans to explore new techniques and creativity. For the first time, Leap Art combined traditional embroidery, knitting, and fabric filling methods with ceramic patterns, reviving the age-old chrysanthemum embroidery with a fresh perspective. The deep green tones of the flower strings and chrysanthemum petals on the velvet background add dimension and beauty to the lampshade. Crystal beads adorn the embroidery, creating a stunning 3D effect.The lamp's body, with its ballet foot design, exemplifies the mastery of Bat Trang's traditional ceramics. The intricate daisy flower pattern, etched onto the ceramic, is accentuated by overlapping layers of turquoise enamel, imparting a unique depth and clarity to each piece. The firing process adds further individuality, as each lamp takes on a distinct color based on enamel thickness and firing temperature. Each lampshade requires a staggering 67 hours of precise hand embroidery, and the ceramic body demands a complex firing process that spans several weeksApart from being a work of art, "Thang Hoa" serves as a functional lighting design suitable for various spaces, from homes with Indochinese or European classical architecture to contemporary settings. It transcends the boundaries between lighting and decorative items, aesthetics, and functionality, presenting a rare and enchanting masterpiece that appeals to art lovers and collectors alike.Take a virtual journey into the enchanting world of "The Sublimation" - The Ballet Ceramic Embroidery Table Lamp:<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/82193f478c85ebd6c018938b412f34b2.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/c5eae80d4f55d9e660a82058c5e0d138.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/e321c839741d2f01fea12977ed57b9fc.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/133e66ae97067d6960a94f03b754ee4b.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/0a152f2f66b7dd8a156832ced2aea7c4.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/11ea000045382b69aa9204d32aa02303.jpeg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/e4fc21a79b5de6dce3779cac04ba1b75.jpeg">

The smooth contours and clean lines of the basin evoke a sense of luxury and spa-like indulgence, enticing customers and architects to dream big and explore innovative possibilities in marble design.The basin's design incorporates the clever use of black accents, infusing drama and elegance, drawing attention to the center of focus.

To achieve the desired structural integrity, the basin was supported by a flattened iron shield, complemented by underfloor cross-bracing to ensure stability and prevent any movement.The construction of the UNISONO basin was carried out in three stages. Firstly, the crossing bottom shield was welded to the concrete floor, positioned just below the 0.00 level. The second stage involved installing the upper parts of the shield, with one straight and the other diagonal.After meticulous measurements, the marble cover, the natural brushed infinity stone, was cut and skillfully processed for installation, completing the basin's exquisite appearance.Shiri Shalom's UNISONO basin showroom has already proven to be an inspiring space that elevates the marble experience to new heights.
