The global A&D community is reconnecting with each other, and also considering how architecture is responding to the renewal of collective life post-pandemic, and in the light of commitments to combatting climate change. This year's festival attracted over 1,500 attendees and over 800 entries for the WAF and INSIDE awards. Out of the 43 category winners, 15 were from Asia and Australasia, led by China (6), Australia (6), India (1), and New Zealand (1).GROHE has supported WAF since the inception of the festival in 2008.

During the past two years, we used the GROHE X digital platform to feature the WAF and INSIDE programme, award winners' announcements and over 500 on-demand category finalist presentations. This year, we are naturally delighted to reconnect in person with the A&D community and also support WAF digitally on the GROHE X platform for those unable to attend.""Next year's WAF will be held in Singapore, and we are excited to increase the participation and representation of talented Asia Pacific architects and designers at WAF. The Asia Pacific region is pivoting rapidly to a post-pandemic world, and consumers are responding to trends across health & wellbeing, sustainability and urbanization with increasing demand for multi-functional spaces for living, working and relaxation.
