Read on to learn more about the latest judges to join this year's panel:

Schwartz is a founding partner of international landscape design company Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP).

For over 40 years, Schwartz and MSP have completed projects around the globe, from site-specific art installations to public spaces, parks, masterplans and reclamation.

Schwartz has received numerous accolades including the 2020 American Society of Landscape Architects ASLA Design Medal, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Institute of British Architects, among others.

MSP's projects include a teardrop-shaped green retreat at the heart of Abu Dhabi's new business district and the maze-like Garden Plot 6 for Xi'an International Horticultural Expo in China.

Hagen is a partner and CEO at Swedish architecture firm White Arkitekter and will sit on our architecture jury.

The international practice works in sustainable architecture, design and urban development globally, with ongoing projects across Europe, North America and Africa.

With the mission to enable sustainable life through architecture, White Arkitekter aims for all its projects to be regenerative and climate-neutral by 2030.

In 2023 the studio completed Exercisfältet Stormwater Pond in Sweden, providing water purification and flood protection while also creating a biodiverse landscape for local residents.

White Arkitekter was named architect of the year at Dezeen Awards 2023, an award that recognises studios that are making a notable impact on the industry.

Nardi and Persakovas are the founders of London-based interior design practice A-nrd Studio and will be joining our interiors panel.

A-nrd Studio's projects include bespoke furniture and lighting designed in-house in collaboration with craftspeople and contemporary artists.

A-nrd has worked with London designers Lee Broom and Tord Boontje and on projects for world-renowned department stores including Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale's.

The studio's recent projects include the Birch Selsdon hotel located in a 19th-century mansion in Croydon and central London restaurant Milk Beach Soho, which replicates the feeling of an Australian beach club.

Lorensen is the founder and CEO of Copenhagen-based furniture company Takt and will be joining C40 Cities' Hélène Chartier on this year's sustainability panel.

Takt specialises in sustainable, direct-to-consumer furniture, blending modern living with the timeless appeal of Danish design.

Its recently completed Cross Chair is the first furniture piece to receive the EU's "more transparent" sustainability score, based on how the product scores in 16 different environmental impact categories.

Hà is the co-founder of Hanoi-based practice Arb Architects and will also be joining this year's architecture jury.

Working predominantly in Vietnam, Hà collaborates with craftsmen and multidisciplinary artists on projects that explore the potential of traditional materials, producing a number of contemporary installations of ceramics, lighting and traditional toys.

In 2024 Hà was awarded the Moira Gemmill Award that recognises designers under the age of 45 who are leading their own practices.
