FuturArc Prize (FAP) 2023, an international Green design competition for architecture professionals and students alike, was held from October 2022 to February 2023 with the theme of Cross-Generational Architecture. The theme explored the rapid change of societal compositions throughout Asia, asking entrants to envision sustainable design solutions for future generations amidst ongoing climate and planetary challenges. The winners and merit recipients will be awarded at their respective countries across the BCI Asia Awards circuit with cash prizes, trophies, certificates and international publication on the FuturArc print magazine and online platforms.

BCI Interior Design Awards (IDA) 2023 calls for Interior Design projects in the theme of Human-Centred Interiors, awarding projects that showcase well-designed spaces that empower users to reside, engage and enrich their lives joyfully and meaningfully. The awarded designs illustrate a deep understanding of the users’ psyche, behaviour, habits and preferences.

Celebrating 18 years of building and design leadership, BCI Asia Awards remains one of the most coveted awards in the regional building industry while serving as a platform for domestic and international networking among elite architecture firms, property developers, manufacturers and service providers. The BCI construction media group reports future construction projects in the Asia-Pacific region. BCI bridges the information gap between design consultants seeking to specify products for their projects and suppliers seeking to inform them about building products and new construction technologies. In doing so, BCI Central conducts more than 250,000 face-to-face and phone interviews with architects, developers, engineers and contractors every year, reporting on approximately USD400 billion worth of projects. Besides promoting efficiency and transparency through its research services, BCI also publishes the award-winning FuturArc journal, Construction+ magazine and other architectural books.
