The TID Award is an important platform for studying today’s Asian lifestyle and regional culture, the synthesis of today’s design elites and innovative thinking, and an arena for observing the interior design development of the Greater China Region; its recording and survey of design works from all areas of life and the different facets of living spaces present a fieldwork for research on modern lifestyle and culture. In these few years, the TID Award has facilitated new features to develop in the Asian interior design milieu. Among the winners of the 2022 TID Award and Gold Award, we begin to see different possibilities. The competition welcomes participants from Japan, Hong Kong, China and other Asian nations. Taiwan has been especially strong in the cultural exhibition category, which shows Taiwan’s special attention to cultural context. From the winners in the commercial and public space categories, Hong Kong, China and Japan have many new commercial typologies and public spaces. The TID Award is highly anticipated for the amazing amount of diverse possibilities it presents by the competition and information exchange. The TID Award went through a lot of modifications: the design categories are subdivided further, fostering more vivid discussions about projects of different categories. Besides the Gold Award, new awards are added: the Grand Award of the Year and the TID Jury Award. These Awards further give meaning to the projects that define different eras, society and innovations in space technologies. The TID Award of 2023 will continue to emphasize uniqueness and originality in design works, but further attempts to select projects for aesthetics and innovative experimentations different from the past, that which further defines and responds to life and the current era. The organizers have planned and revised award methods, not only defining more of the different space categories but also officially adding sustainability/renewal design, social adaptive design, innovative technology design, universal age design and other important design issues into the juror evaluation standard and scope. The TID Award hopes to express the interaction and responsibility between the interior design industry and the society, enhance the vision and guide the structure and position of the interior design field.
