Top 10 Awards 2024 Jury: High expertise and reputation in the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, Green Building

The Top 10 Awards not only celebrate outstanding designs but also serve as a platform for designers and architects to exchange ideas, share experiences, and showcase innovative solutions in modern architecture. To ensure the objectivity and quality of the awards, the judging panel for the Top 10 Awards 2024 consists of exceptional and experienced architects and designers specializing in Architecture, Interior Design, and Green Projects, both domestically and internationally.

Organized by KIENVIET MEDIA, the awards receive professional backing from the Vietnam Association of Architects, the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC), the Vietnam Interior Design Association (VNIA), and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM). Over the past seven years, the awards have marked their success with more than 1,000 entries, attracting over 700 design firms nationwide and millions of interactions on various media platforms.

This year, the jury consists of 15 experts from both Vietnam and abroad, divided into three categories: Top 10 Houses, Top 10 Interior Designs, and Top 10 Green Projects. Each category is judged by five representatives who are leading architects, designers, and experts, offering diverse and in-depth perspectives on each submission.

With the participation of a prestigious jury, Top 10 Awards 2024 promises to continue enhancing aesthetic and creative values, while driving the development of the Architecture, Interior Design, and Green Building sectors in Vietnam.
