As part of OPEN 2025, we’re proud to highlight projects that stand out not only for their originality, but also for their cultural insight and social relevance.

His end-of-year project earned two awards at the OPEN 2025 Student Awards. The event drew support from industry sponsors including Foster + Partners, JCDecaux, the Rawat Family, Portman Estate, and VOLA.
