#1 "Indonesia Pavilion" By Warda Zaidi
Silver in Cultural Architecture Design / Pavilion, Gold in Cultural Architecture Design / Library
"The literacy rate in Indonesia is decreasing significantly. Pisa reported that more than 86% of Indonesian 15-year-olds read at a Pisa level 2 or below. Therefore, critical thinking skills are affected considerably, and it will become difficult for the country to fulfill the UN’s sustainable development goals. The goal of this pavilion is to bring awareness to Indonesia’s literacy problem and encourage children to read. Education is the first step in solving a country’s economic and social problems, and this pavilion will bring to light the harrowing realities of Indonesia’s literacy rates."

#2 "Aloe Vera Lighting" By Afshin Mehdizadegan Hosseini
Silver in Conceptual Products / Home Product Design
"Aloe Vera is a symbol of peace and luck. To display these symbols, each branch of this Aloe Vera plant gradually directs light from bottom to top towards darkness. By observing this light pattern, the user unconsciously receives a sense of tranquility. In addition, the white lamp at the center of the product represents a new bud in the plant that has been protected by the surrounding leaves, giving it a chance to thrive and survive. At night, the light can be adjusted to a red-orange hue, which, according to research, promotes a soothing effect conducive to improved sleep and relaxation."

#3 "Public Art In Shanghai Metro Line 14 Yuyuan Garden Station" By Xiong Xing
Silver in Cultural Interior Design / Visual arts center
"Based on the in-depth analysis of local culture, the architects took inspiration from the flowing water of the Huangpu River and translated it into curves on the ceiling, evoking a rhythmic scene that the river's flowing water slaps against the columns. By using architectural language to visualize abstract concepts, the design team created a space that blends classical oriental beauty with a modern sense of technology.
The design team combined the ceiling with LED lighting, so that the large canopy became a 3D LED display that forms an integrated lighting system."

Silver in Other Fashion Designs / AvantGarde
"As people grow up and immerse themselves in the demands of society, it becomes increasingly challenging for them to unwind and find moments of ease, especially when they live alone. Understanding this struggle, I aspire to design pieces that could bring joy to tired grown-ups and evoke happy memories of their childhood or serve as a simple emotional&physical compensation for less-than-perfect pasts.
The wish is to stop the viewers’ seriousness for a second and let them feel relaxed. The designs are mainly hand-crocheted pieces made of yarn, with each stitch crafted with care and attention."

Gold in Print / Corporate Identity Rebranding
"The new brand identity is based on 2 key insights. First, we discovered that “replicant’s” brand essence lies in conversational design, which combines science and art, humanity and technology, logic and emotion. Hence, the new visual language is all about the polars—warm and cold colors, sharp and rounded shapes, realistic and abstract photography styles. Second, in contrast to competitors that provide just a single aspect of contact center automation, “replicant” provides an entire ecosystem that works and learns on its own."
