The "Design Educates Awards"
recognises works that can change our
behaviour - and thus the world - even if
this change is quiet and gradual.
The founders of the idea of the
community of creators who educate, and
the awards that distinguish them, do not
set any rigid framework or barriers. In
the submitted projects, they want to see
additional values with long-term effects
that take the growing complexity of our
lives into account. It's not just beautiful,
aesthetically, and technically pleasing
designs that matter here. What matters
is the impact of the buildings, objects, or
items on their users and the environment.
If you are a designer or architect who
shares the above noted values, head to the
Design Educates Awards website to learn
about competition entry dates and prizes
and submit your entry. The 2023 edition
will soon be open for submissions.

About The Design Educates Awards
The Design Educates Awards is
organized by Laka Foundation (a nonprofit
and nongovernmental organization). The
inspiration for the awards theme comes
from research called Educating Buildings
(Bildende Bauten) by Dr. Peter Kuczia. dw Winner of the year in Universal Design - BetaPort - Circular
