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.

Sustainability Takes Center Stage: AADA 2023's Eco-Friendly Showcases

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?

Asia is fast emerging in many fields of endeavor, particularly in the softer fields of economic growth such as design, tourism, hospitality, and service-based industries. Because of this, the idea of ‘human capital’ and the worth and value that an organization's people possess are seen as having growing importance.The Singapore-based Asia Awards Organization is an enterprise that develops and promotes creative excellence in various fields. Its sole mission is to showcase groundbreaking achievement and societal contributions, with the belief that excellence can be found in companies of companies of all sizes. To this end, the AAO will host three major award events in 2023.&nbsp;<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/700ee8ec76eb29ac091ac2e7c1c90d45.png">The first is the Asia Architecture and Design Awards, an annual award consisting of 30 award categories in the disciplines of architecture, interior design, and furniture design to honor excellence in the projects and products created by individuals and organizations in the industry which have had a positive impact on the infrastructure development of the region.&nbsp;<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/e983e53d17081d7322efa385f68332e9.png">The second is the Asia Hospitality Awards, which will be an annual celebration of excellence and innovation in the travel and tourism sector, encompassing hotels and resorts, restaurants, bars and tour operators in delivering international standard services and innovations in six disciplines and 30 award categories.Finally, The Asia Best Workplace Awards encompass the field of Human Resources to provide a yearly recognition and certification of businesses that attract and develop the best talent in seven disciplines and 30 award categories.&nbsp;<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/46850b749c9c22e9346caaf507114f8c.png">With the mission of honoring outstanding businesses, organizations, and individuals who have contributed to raising the profile of Asian brands, and are pioneering in promoting social development, the Asia Awards Organization (AAO) will stage three major awards in 2023.Asia-Pacific is now the world's fastest-growing region, home to new technologies, a skilled workforce, and a thriving middle class. In recent years, investment resources for Asia have increased. According to experts, in the not-too-distant future, Asia-Pacific will become the world economic center, which can account for about 70% of global GDP."Over the past three decades, Asia-Pacific can be proud of its transformation, becoming a region of innovation," said Dylan Yip, Deputy General Director of Strategy at the Asia Awards. Even the 21st century is considered the "Asia-Pacific Century ". In that context, many individuals and businesses have taken advantage of the opportunity. to break through, go beyond conventional standards, and gain recognition not only in the region but also in the world”.The Asia Architecture and Design Awards is the first of these awards to kick off and welcomes all applicants to submit during the period from December 2022 to February 15, 2023.
