The highly-anticipated San Francisco Design week has attracted architects, designers, and visitors from all over to celebrate design and design innovation. For the first time, the 14th edition of the festival was held virtually due to the pandemic. However, despite the change in venue, this allowed for more visitors from all over the world to experience the event.
With this year's theme, "Intentional Distortions," architects, designers, and student participants submitted their best work to address the theme's brief. With 14 design categories ranging from Architecture to Urban Mobility, see this year's award recipients below.
