"With the ICONIC AWARDS, the German Design Council has established an architecture and design competition that places the interplay between disciplines at its core. For over a decade, this internationally renowned award has honoured forward-thinking projects and sustainable solutions – from visionary urban andlandscape planning to intelligent conversions, sensitively designed new buildings, holistic interior concepts, innovative product development, future-oriented living and working environments, material innovations and communication concepts across all sectors of architecture, construction and real estate.
At the heart of the awards lies an interdisciplinary approach: the ICONIC AWARDS view architecture not in isolation, but as part of a larger creative ecosystem. This perspective has made the ICONIC AWARDS one of the leading industry prizes in Germany, with international reach.
More than just an award: The ICONIC AWARDS are a global platform that showcases excellence in architectureand interior design."
