Theme 2025: ECHO

The theme ECHO encourages exploration of the dynamic relationship between the past, present, and future. Like an echo, design is not isolated—it resonates, evolves, and influences its surroundings. Every design solution creates ripples, impacting both the environments it exists in and the people who interact with it. 

An echo is a reminder that every action leaves a trace, every design leaves a mark, and every creation leaves an imprint, affecting what comes next. The theme ECHO emphasizes the importance of the process – design as an iterative journey. Like an echo that grows with each reflection, design unfolds step by step, with each decision building on the previous one.  
 
The theme is about interconnection – how design relies on interaction. Like sound relies on surfaces to bounce off, design often depends on interaction, response, and collaboration.
