The International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) 2025, organised by the Architecture & Design Community (ADC), once again spotlight exceptional talent from around the globe. With entries from over 45 countries, this year’s winners reflect a rich diversity of voices, ideas, and forms — united by an uncompromising pursuit of excellence.
Each of these works was selected by our international Jury Board, who recognised projects that expand the way we think about space, material, and meaning.
Daishinku Corp. Headquarters and Plant in Japan by Tomoatsu Kusada and Nobuaki Miyashita (OKUMURA CORPORATION + MR STUDIO Co., Ltd.) transforms industrial typology into a sculptural statement. Its tiered form and planted edges create a bold, structured rhythm, captured vividly by Kenji Noguchi.
Pop-ups in China by Yu Feng (Deve Build), photographed by Maggie, is a temporary installation with the energy of a performance. Twisting wooden ribbons rise into dynamic forms, suggesting movement frozen in time — light, expressive, and unexpectedly architectural.
Improvement of Hrodna’s Riverside in Belarus by Viktar Varabei offers a renewed public space where angled walkways and layered terrain invite movement, pause, and connection — a thoughtful merging of landscape and civic design.
Mosque Design in Qatar by Mohanad Barakat reveals a crystalline geometry where skylights and sharp planes catch both light and meaning. It bridges heritage and innovation with clarity and precision.
PLATINUM WINNER, Mosque Design, Public Building & Civic Architecture, Mohanad Barakat, Qatar
Lua in the United Kingdom by George Singer (George Singer Ltd.) is a chandelier and pendant lighting installation that flows with the elegance of molten gold. Delicate yet powerful, it radiates warmth, beautifully framed in Matthias Hoene’s photograph.
Woloshin Bathhouse in Moldova by Serghei Mirza (LH47 ARCH), photographed by George Omen, is nestled in a natural setting with a green roof and glass façades. The building feels grounded and open at once — a tranquil retreat where design meets ecology.
