'Intelligent created Spaces is a result of good teamwork between the interior architect and the client', said Prof. Dominic Haag-Walthert, who brought the theme of this years' WID to the point. He introduced the three podium talks between selected VSI.ASAI Interior architects and their clients. The audience experienced exciting insights on how – during a short period of time – a relationship is built between these two parties. Project examples in each of the private- and public areas as well as a temporary exhibition installation, were shown.
VSI.ASAI celebrated the annual WID event at the Stilhaus Rothist Switzerland in May 2016. A dedication exhibition of Leo Zimmerman was installed at the Stilhaus showing his furniture collection and other works. Thomas Wachter, president of VSI.ASAI, expressed in his opening speech a praise to the interior architect, who perfectly fulfilled his work combining the aspect of construction and interior design in all of his projects. 'An interior architect’s approach from the inside to the outside of spaces, means that two disciplines work on the same objective, but following other goals and using different functions.'

Last year SBID received entries from 41 countries, with literally hundreds of applications from micro business freelance individuals to some of the world’s largest interior design and architects practices all showcasing the most amazing and inspiring projects that demonstrate exactly what the industry achieves.
Vanessa Brady (Founding president): 'As designers for business, for leisure and for general wellbeing we create safe environments for people to move around in. We are an industry that adds value to the bottom line of our clients business by making clever choices that they had often failed to assess. This visual and functional aspect of design advice is frequently ignored by the media who rarely see the added value of great design. Something as simple as a door hinged on the opposite side of the frame can change the flow and safety of movement by users. It is this value of design once assembled collectively makes designers great.
Our objective at SBID is to elevate the status and profile of such global talent to promote and demonstrate exactly why our profession is so amazing. In doing so we showcase our industries stars and emerging talent.' [photo: SBID]
