The awards programme is now open to architecture projects across the MENA region
identity Design Awards 2020 is now split into two sections: Interior Design and Architecture, with the aim of bridging the two disciplines under a single event and celebrating the architecture and design industry in the MENA region.
The Architecture section includes five categories such as Residential, Commercial, Hospitality, Public building and Cultural building, in addition to the Architecture Project of the Year category, with the same accolade included for interior design.
Additional categories for architects include Outdoor Design and Project of the Future.
Entries for the Awards are now open to architects and interior designers across the Middle East and North Africa, with the Gala event set to take place on the 4th of November, 2020. The venue will be announced soon.
Architect Marco Piva and India Mahdavi are both confirmed as jury members of the 2020 identity Design Awards, with more international names to be announced soon.
