Background In the digital era, a rich spectrum of design philosophies has flourished across disciplines spanning architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, digital media, visual communication, product design, and fashion, giving rise to a diverse array of digital expression methodologies and presentation formats. To foster breakthroughs in design concept innovation and the pioneering application of digital presentation forms, the Asian Digital ArtDesign Competition is officially launched, with the aim of recognizing exceptional works and facilitating cross-border design exchanges. The competition permits the integration of artificial intelligence technologies throughout every phase of the design workflow.
