ARCASIA has established the ARCASIA Architecture Awards (AAA) to encourage and recognize the outstanding achievements of architects working in Asia and to promote the development of architectural standards across Asia and its member states. The awards are judged by an independent panel appointed by the ARCASIA Council, consisting of top architects from Asia and one non-architect. The winners are determined by this panel and announced by the council.
The purpose of the ARCASIA Archi tecture Awards is to acknowledge excellent archi tectural works, to foster the development and improvement of the architectural environment in Asia, and to enhance the recognition of the role architects play in the socio-economic and cultural life of Asian countries. Additionally, the awards aim to showcase out standing archi tectural designs that posi t ively impact the human environment and exemplify the harmonious coexistence of material development with local cultural values, national identity, and the natural environment.
In the AAA2024, there were 340 eligible entries from 15 different countries or regions. The jury selected 25 projects, including 7 gold awards and 18 honorable mentions.
