Where Architecture, Strategy and Business Converge
The ICONIC AWARDS 2026 honour projects that combine outstanding design quality with economic relevance. As an international architecture and design award presented by the German Design Council, they place realised buildings, interior concepts, as well as products and solutions from the construction and interiors industry centre stage. The focus is on projects that unite innovation, responsibility and a clear understanding of the market.
New Categories Reflect the Industry’s Transformation
With Development Concept & Masterplanning and Transformation, the ICONIC AWARDS expand their scope to include the strategic dimension of project development. These categories address project developers, construction companies and clients commissioning buildings. Architecture is understood not merely as form, but as a holistic development process that integrates strategy, sustainability and long-term value creation.
International Visibility for Architecture and Construction Innovation
The ICONIC AWARDS create a platform where architecture, project development and industry enter into dialogue. Architects, interior designers, development consultancies and manufacturers connect, present their projects to an international jury and position themselves within a competitive, global environment. Recognition strengthens brand perception, provides market orientation and highlights innovative capability.
