About AICA

Artists In Concrete Awards (AICA) Asia is an annual celebration of recognising and appreciating excellence in the fields of Architecture, Interior Designing and Landscape Designing. The goal is to give each and every concept a unique meaning, identity, and vision.

AICA is the only competition in India where participant architects have to make live presentations of projects in front of an international jury panel. This has brought the competition to a higher level. As a result, top architects participate in AICA.

AICA began in 2007, as a need to recognise and award notable projects in the construction industry. This would help encourage good quality projects across India. Over the course of time, it was realised that the quality of projects involves good design thinking within its core premise, and thus the expansion into celebrating excellence in design and recognising good work was implemented.

Now AICA has gone to the Asia level and it is an awaited yearly fest of architects where professionals in the industry interact, get networking opportunities, exchange ideas, and grow.
