WAF being the only festival which includes both Architecture and Interior Design categories (through INSIDE event for interiors), is immensely popular among the architects and designers across the world. Since it is a paid event with very high entry fee and additional cost of travel and accommodation in Singapore, the event is attended by limited number of premium architects and designers only. Others from the fraternity in India and elsewhere generally do not get a chance to attend this event due to cost involved. The architects and designers across the world recognize WAF as a niche and premium event and aspire to attend it if they get a chance Eminent architects from India such as Sanjay Puri, Matharu Associates, Hyderabad Design Forum, Gayathri & Namitha, Edifice and many more participate in the event every year. Generally the event is attended by around 15-20 architects and designers from India all of whom are A+ category architects. Other architects and designers from India though aspiring to attend, do not get a chance to see the best designs in the field of architecture from across the world. CONTD.
