2023 3RD BRITISH ECODESIGN AWARDS

Ecological civilization represents a new and crucial stage in the evolution of human development. This stage emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, mutual aid and sharing among people, and peaceful development between individuals and society. Ecological health is a health model that puts people first, roots in nature, and carries in society. It advocates for the harmonious coexistence of people with nature, with each other, and with society, to achieve sustainable development of human society.

We all know that designers and architects play a vital role in the construction of an ecological civilization. Their design concepts, methods, and works directly impact our living environment and our ecological health. Therefore, they need not only specialized design techniques but also a high degree of ecological and sustainable development awareness. This is not only the work of BEDA but also something that all designers and architects should consider and practice.

The British Ecology Design Award (BEDA) is a global design competition held annually in Sheffield, UK. Since its establishment in 2018, it has successfully held five sessions. The first three competitions were only held in England, but by 2022, the competition has expanded to the whole of the UK and welcomes designers from around the world to participate.

The goal of this design award is to promote innovative and sustainable design concepts and practices, encouraging designers and architects to use their expertise and innovative thinking to contribute to the protection of the Earth’s ecology and achieve sustainable development. It is a platform to showcase the talent, innovative spirit, and social responsibility of designers and architects, and an important force promoting the construction of ecological civilization and sustainable development.
