“The IDA has always been about seeking out truly visionary designers showcasing creativity and innovation. We had a record number of entries in 2022 and the jury had an enormous task in selecting the winners from some truly outstanding design submissions,” commented Jill Grinda, VP of Marketing and Business Development for the IDA.

In the words of Jury Member, Mark Blackwell, Creative Director and Chartered Landscape Architect at Morphis, ‘we saw diverse and extraordinary submissions in this year’s entries across geographies, typologies and scale. The most successful designs appear to be those who apply creative thinking, crafting innovative and sustainable destinations to connect people with emotion, nature, and context.’

What makes judging the IDA special is the opportunity to discover fresh ideas from the best upcoming and established designers around the world and amplify them.”

“Once again the IDA awards have shown a new generation of incredibly creative talented candidates, as well as clear industry professional standouts. I love how these awards bring out the best,” noted Carly Vidal-Wallace, Fashion Curator, Writer and Marketing Strategist.
