A powerhouse of creatives

Meet the 2026 INDE.Award jury for our 10th anniversary year – an amazing group of the best practitioners from across our region and indeed the world.


The INDE.Awards showcases the extraordinary talent that resides in our Indo-Pacific and the jury represents outstanding leaders in architecture and design – not only from our region but from across the globe.

In order to judge the best architecture and design submissions, we need to have the greatest voices from many countries and communities who bring their professionalism, expertise and knowledge to the table and adjudicate with respect and care.  

In 2026, our 10th anniversary year of the program, the INDE.Awards jury comprises 34 jurors – all exceptional practitioners both returning this year and joining for the first time. Each brings something different, something special to the judging process along with an exceptional competence in their particular area of design.

We would like to thank each and every member of our 2026 INDE.Awards jury for giving their time to support the INDEs – as they are the backbone and strength of our program.
