Grand Honour Initiatives

Celebrating You Through Monumental Recognition and Lasting Legacies

The Grand Honour Initiatives embody a visionary commitment by the A' Design Award to elevate the stature and recognition of award-winning designers, architects, innovators, and brands whose exceptional work makes a meaningful impact on society. By advocating for a series of transformative actions—such as naming streets after designers, dedicating public spaces and museum exhibits to architects, and creating opportunities for celebrated brands—these initiatives seek to embed design excellence into the everyday lives of people worldwide. From proposing the establishment of national awards, monuments, and design symposiums, to petitioning governments for public tributes, the Grand Honour Initiatives aim to celebrate the creators whose contributions enhance our world and inspire progress.
