The German Design Awards 2026 are now open for submissions worldwide. Under the theme Connecting Global Excellence, the awards extend an invitation not just to enter, but to engage—with ideas, with places, with people. This year's open call is accompanied by a new series of Design Masterclasses in Zurich and Copenhagen, created in collaboration with DAAily platforms, offering spaces to share, learn and connect. As the Frankfurt RheinMain region prepares to take the global stage as World Design Capital 2026, the German Design Awards 2026 reflect the full spectrum of design today—from visionary innovation to cultural continuity. They are both a mirror of our diverse design landscape and a catalyst for forward-thinking transformation across all disciplines.

Whether you're a seasoned professional, a design enthusiast, or someone simply curious about the future of spaces, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap for understanding the trends shaping tomorrow's interiors.
The question whether distinctive features marked the drawings and creative process of architects and planners in the GDR may seem obvious, but looking at individual pictures alone is unlikely to lead to new insights. During the decades of specific GDR architecture, up to the mid-1980s, East German planning offices worked with the standard tools used all over the world. As everywhere, talents were unevenly distributed, each design collective having its own particularly gifted “drawing ace” to provide the decisive visualisations of a building idea for important project presentations or competition submissions. So it would be quite possible to illustrate a stylistic history of four decades of GDR architecture with the help of selected drawings from various years and regions.

The site is located at the heart of the local economy, near Donghae Station (925, Seodong-ro, Donghae-si, Gangwon-do). The site is currently being used as the location of a steel factory. With a long-term vision, we plan to relocate the factory and redevelop the entire site(661,000㎡). Our goal is to transform the underutilized areas such as 'Vacant Land' and 'Employee Housing Land' into a remarkable destination that attracts both domestic and international visitors.
