RTF Architecture & Design Awards 2020

Now is the time for Architects & Designers of the world to ‘Rethink the Future.’

The world is at the edge of a global crisis of economic failure, climate change and disruptions in social structure, and our cities are failing on the various parameters affecting many lives. Our cities, designed by Architects, Urban Designers, Landscape Architects, Planners, Interior Designers, Product Designers, and more, need to be more adaptive and sensitive to these changes. And we cannot continue with the same wisdom we’ve created these problems, we need new innovations and systems for a sustainable future. We need buildings that do not ignore the changing lifestyle and climate, we need buildings and products to be future sensitive that collectively forms a more adaptive city that can sustain and survive the man-made and naturally occurring changes. Now is the time for Architects & Designers of the world to think of new directions and restrategize the whole construction and real estate business.
