Honoring Design and Architecture that has an Impact on Society
Design Educates Awards (DEAwards) recognize, showcase, and promote globally the best ideas and implementations of architecture and design. It brings together a community of creatives who emphasize the meaning of the true added value of their projects. NPO Aoyama Design Forum (ADF) proudly supports the Design Educates Awards 2024 as a media supporter.
DEAwards is looking for creative, innovative projects (completed or concepts from the last 5 years) of any scale that, in addition to excellent aesthetics, incorporate added value—such as educational potential, storytelling elements, the stimulation of critical thinking, the ability to influence users’ emotions or behaviour, and an impact on perception or encompass other similar values.
