This year’s AADA ceremony took place at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, an architectural landmark representing the pinnacle of modern urban development in the "Lion City" and the broader Asian region. The event was attended by many architects, designers and top experts in the field of architecture, real estate and related industries from 12 countries and territories.

According to Deputy Director of AADA, Dylan Yip, the awards received a strong response with more than 1,100 registered accounts on the official website, more than 436 projects successfully submitted, and 100 projects making it to the final round after over eight months. 50 projects were selected to become the winners.

Commenting on competition entries, Alberto Beretta, CEO of I.F.O SRL and Head Judge of AADA 2023, highlighted that Asian architecture is renowned for its unique beauty, diversity, and exquisite blend of tradition and modernity.

The entries showcased the strong emergence of Asian architecture with creative ideas that span across various sectors, ranging from commercial buildings to social and residential structures, he noted.

Architects have employed advanced technology to construct architectural masterpieces that harmonise with the environment and contribute to the sustainable development of the region and the world. Notable projects include the Sikanderpur Forest Regeneration (India), Tops Redevelopment (Philippines), MARSA HQ (Indonesia), BMW Millennium Auto - Pattanakarn Srinakarin (Thailand), Silhouette (Malaysia), and Mai Châu Culture Resort (Việt Nam).

AADA also provides opportunities for architects and industry experts to network, share experiences, collaborate, and exchange technical knowledge with professionals from 12 countries in the region, thereby fostering the development of a strong Asian architectural community.

Speaking of the development potential of Vietnamese architecture, Đặng Thế Mỹ, CEO & Founder of Vacons and partner of the Asian Architecture Design Awards, said: “With the emergence of numerous award-winning projects from Việt Nam, this will undoubtedly be a significant step forward, potentially opening a new era for design and architecture in the country”.
