Above and beyond aesthetically pleasing is educationally pleasing, the DEAwards would say, as a way of warning of what’s to come in the next edition. By showcasing the best architecture and design projects, they seek to explain the complexity of reality and the socio-economic influences on the world. The judging panel annually nominates the best ideas within architectural, product, universal and responsive design, although the theme of the next edition demands more than technical knowledge, putting the creative skills of participants to the test with the theme "Educating Buildings”.
