International Architecture & Design Awards 2027 — Call for Entries
From the places we inhabit to the objects we use and the experiences that shape everyday life, design moves across disciplines, scales and borders. The International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) returns for its 6th edition, bringing this broad creative field together on one international platform.
IADA 2027 invites established studios, independent designers and emerging talents worldwide to present their strongest work and gain international recognition. Both realised projects and concepts are welcome, with 19 disciplines and 640 nominations spanning architecture, interior design, landscape design, conceptual design, AI-powered design, fashion, product design, transportation, communication and more.
One international stage. Many disciplines.
The breadth of IADA reflects the way design works today. A building, an interior, a landscape, an object or an AI-assisted concept may begin in very different places, but each can demonstrate an idea worth sharing.
Projects are evaluated by an independent international jury against the published criteria of Innovation & Originality, Design & Aesthetic Quality, and Functionality & Spatial Integration.
