Architectural Project of the year

Programa

Updated: 14 May 2025

We’re excited to share that Programa has partnered with Dezeen Awards 2025, one of the most respected platforms recognising excellence in architecture, interiors and design.

As part of this year’s program, our co-founder, Zoe Lowres, has joined the Dezeen Awards architecture judging panel. She’ll sit alongside industry leaders, including Samira Rathod, Johan Ejdemo (IKEA), and Matt Scullin (MycoWorks), to assess standout work from studios around the world.

It’s a proud moment - not just for us, but for the broader design community we’ve built Programa to support.

Co-founder Zoe Lowres as judge for Architectural Project of the year

Since launching in 2020, Programa has become a trusted tool for thousands of studios in over 85 countries. We’ve seen firsthand how important structure is to delivering good design: clear specifications, accurate schedules, aligned teams, and transparent communication. These things might not make the headlines, but they make great projects possible.

Zoe’s place on the jury panel reflects the values that drive our platform: precision, practicality, and respect for the process behind the design. From our earliest days, we’ve focused on building tools that solve real problems and give studios the clarity they need to do their best work.

This partnership marks just the beginning of what’s to come.

We’ll be joining Dezeen on the ground in Copenhagen for 3 Days of Design, where we’ll be hosting a private dinner with past and present judges to celebrate the work happening globally in architecture, interiors and design.

From this collaboration to what we’re building next inside Programa, there’s plenty ahead this year. Watch this space.

Programa joins Dezeen Awards 2025 as an official partner

Programa is proud to announce our partnership with Dezeen Awards 2025, a globally recognised program celebrating the best in architecture, interiors, and product design.

As part of this partnership, our co-founder and Head of Creative Strategy, Zoe Lowres, has joined the Dezeen Awards judging panel for architecture. Alongside leading voices like Samira Rathod, IKEA’s Johan Ejdemo, and MycoWorks CEO Matt Scullin, Zoe will be helping assess standout projects from around the world.

Founded in 2020, Programa has grown from a simple spec tool into a comprehensive platform used by design studios in over 85 countries. We’ve seen first-hand how better project management—schedules, specifications, approvals, and communication—can directly support stronger design outcomes.

Zoe’s appointment to the judging panel reflects our commitment to improving the design process from the inside out. Our focus has always been on helping studios work with more clarity, confidence, and collaboration.

This year, we’re also expanding our partnership with Dezeen through 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen. We’ll be hosting a private dinner with current and former judges, bringing together leading practitioners to share ideas and celebrate good work.

From this launch to what’s ahead across the platform, there’s a lot happening in 2025.
