#ADW21: Architecture of Recognition

Architecture of Recognition

Organized by: Trophyology

Why are monuments trophies? Why do we all need recognition? Why does design matter?

This presentation explores the significance of recognition in architecture, human motivation, and design. Receiving recognition is a primary human need. We all desire to know that we—and our contributions—matter. Many significant monuments of the world were conceived as lasting mementos of outstanding achievements and built with impressive techniques that in themselves represented noteworthy accomplishment.

Design and quality are critical components of anything sophisticated, prestigious, and meaningful. Any desirable work of art is thoughtfully considered and built to last. Great design produces objects that are worth giving and worth keeping.

At Trophyology, we are passionate about elevating acts of gratitude and appreciation to a form of art. We believe in the power of recognition and we’re here to give it the attention and care it deserves by leading the conversation on what it means to recognize well and to honor excellence in style.

This workshop is open to anyone interested in history, design, architecture, and the psychology of human motivation.
