The story

An international jury

Professor Amir has been invited to join the International Jury Board of the VMARK Vietnam Design Award 2027, one of Asia’s leading design awards, run by VDAS Design Association and VMARK Vietnam Design Week in Ho Chi Minh City. VDAS | VMARK extended the official invitation for his expertise in architecture and urban transformation, and he has accepted.

Planet. Our Homeland

This year’s theme is “Planet. Our Homeland | Shaping a Creative Planet”, carried by the message “Good Design Creates Equity. Equity Creates Peace.” It sits close to Professor Amir’s own work on how architecture and cities shape human health and wellbeing, and how the future of buildings and urbanisation can become smarter and greener.

A distinguished panel

He joins an international panel of design leaders that includes David Basulto (Founder and Editor-in-Chief, ArchDaily), Mui Kinoshita (Board Director, World Design Organization), Steve Baty (CEO, Australian Design Council), Eija Salmi (Secretary General, Cumulus Association) and Luke Pearson (Co-Founder, Pearson Lloyd).

Timeline

Judging takes place online in March 2027. The results will be announced and honoured at VMARK Vietnam Design Week 2027, planned for April 2027 in Ho Chi Minh City.
