SURFACE REPORTER SALUTES
– In details

Established in 2011 and a part of 23-year-old media house, SURFACES REPORTER is known for keeping a constant eye on the work done by architects & designers of India.

This initiative “SURFACES REPORTER SALUTES” stems from their deep admiration for the transformative role designers play in shaping the built environment. Recognizing valuable contributions is their way of celebrating this legacy while inspiring the community to aim higher.

After years of closely observing the extraordinary work emerging from the region, Surfaces Reporter is humbled to shine a spotlight on firms and individuals who have redefined design.


How are firms nominated?

SURFACES REPORTER team spend months deliberating over and observing firms whose work transcends boundaries and inspires the next generation of designers. The selected firm is one of those that must be told.

Firms are nominated in two ways, through the direct nomination by SR team or after the selection process from the nominations received from the industry, architecture firms and design companies. This is not just recognition but a tribute to the relentless passion, creativity, and impact.


Why has SURFACES REPORTER not created the recognition platform earlier?

With thousands of awards & recognition platforms floated in the market, SR feels that people are almost making a joke of these platforms. SURFACES REPORTER is a serious platform and do not want to create or engage in anything that does not resonate with its objective of filling any gap or contributing something meaningful for the community.

THE WADE ASIA, recognition and networking platform for women in design & architecture was started to give women in design a large national platform to share their work, get recognised for their contribution and also compete stringently to build and reatin their presence nationwide. As they would complete 10 years of THE WADE ASIA, it seems right to give time and attention in building a platform for recognising the professionals of design, real estate and architecture, not limited by any gender.
