Kuala Lumpur, 22 November 2021 – BCI Asia has reopened its annual competition for interior design professionals: BCI Asia Interior Design Awards (IDA).
The registration is open from today, 22 November 2021, until 25 February 2022.
In this cycle, IDA will honour the best effort and practices that are responsive to the changes brought about by the pandemic so the theme is less about the core functionality of one space, but rather the fluidity of functionalities a space can have. Titled SIZE vs SPACE, professionals are invited to submit their projects according to the gross floor area rather than the typology.
Interior design projects are to be submitted under three categories: Small (maximum 300 square metres), Medium (301-1,000 square metres) and Large (above 1,001 square metres). There will be cash prizes for the winner from each category. The best designs are selected according to the following equally weighted (20 per cent each) criteria: aesthetic and creativity; well-being and environmental considerations, technologies and solutions, and realisation efficiency.
