In recent years, Sustainable Design has moved past its pop-culture status to form a key requirement of any good design process.
Sustainable Designs allow us to live, work and play in such a way that is more efficient, profitable, secure and pleasurable but most importantly a way that does not compromise our future. Now as one of the defining ideas of the 21st century, Sustainability holds tremendous possibilities for designers.
So, it's only fitting that the DIA devotes one of its most prestigious awards to fostering Sustainable Design practices in the region’s emerging designers.
Now in its 15th year, the DIA presents the ASDA in conjunction with designEX. Entries will be on display at Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre until Saturday April 24.
The ASDA Judging Panels, who consist of highly respected DIA members and industry leaders, awarded a prize pool that includes cash prizes, products, art & design supplies, publicity, courses and DIA memberships.
