Architecture & Design Community (ADC)

Overview

Founded in 2019 and operated by Digital Art Group sp. z o.o. (based in Kraków, Poland), the Architecture & Design Community (ADC) is an international awards organizer, publishing hub, and digital gallery platform for spatial, product, and visual design. ADC hosts multiple global competition programs and maintains a public project archive that highlights innovation at the intersection of architecture, technology, art, and design.
