Each Merit recipient team was presented with certificates, cash prize of SGD500 and will receive 1-year subscriptions to FuturArc digital magazine via FuturArc app.

Finally, the First Place award went to the entry titled Jakarta Water Heritage by Gilang Pidianku, Kurniawan Abednego Putratama, Bastian Yeoko, Chrispina Yovita Putri and Maria Vika Wirastri. The team was presented with their trophy, cash prize of SGD8,000 and will receive 2-year subscriptions to FuturArc digital magazine via FuturArc app.

Also attending the event was a FuturArc Prize 2023 juror from Indonesia, the architect and urban planner Dr Miya Irawati, whose work on housing provision in peri-urban and migrational areas through projects like Expandable House has received international accolade.

This BCIAA event in Indonesia kicks off the regional awards circuit for 2023, where Top Ten architects and developers from Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore will be acknowledged throughout May to June.
