The International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) returns with its 5th milestone edition in 2026, continuing its mission to spotlight the finest work across the global design landscape — and marking the occasion with a reimagined iconic IADA trophy, crafted in white and platinum.
Design is not just an act of creation — it is a response to the world, a way of thinking and a measure of courage. The IAD Awards honour those who build meaning, challenge convention and bring lasting value to the world through design.
