Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the existence of SAA Awards is a testament to the reliability of the final studio projects of Architecture Program at Unpar, curated meticulously by professional, Architect academician, and business juries. The curation process is crucial in objectively declaring the presence of functional designs within society, not only for participating students but also for mentors who have provided intensive guidance.

SAA Awards, as an event facilitating competition and appreciation for students in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR) who received the best marks in their final design projects, has reached two decades. Through presentation to experts having outstanding reputation in the field of architecture, the students are able to gain, not only their confidence and acknowledgement for their design projects, but also soft skills required for life after graduation.

A heartfelt thank you is extended to the External Jurors, both at the national and international levels, Mr. Ar. Dr. Rahadhian Prajudi Herwindo, IAI (as the Responsible Lecturer for SAA), Mr. Christianto Hendrawan, ST., MT., IAI (as the Coordinator of SAA Awards 41), and the entire Student Committee of the SAA Awards 41 Exhibition and Activities who have worked tirelessly in preparing this event to the best of their abilities. May this event become a part of an enjoyable learning process. Amen.

SAA Awards is an event held periodically in the Architecture Department - UNPAR, Bandung. It’s been 20 years since its first exhibition, awarding best student designers among SAA (Final Architecture Studio) participants. It has been a tool for evaluating the quality of architecture students' works, especially in the final studio. It has been held with the support of IAI (Indonesian Institute of Architects). This is an example of integration between academic and professional fields, to answer the demand of the current architectural field.

Hello everyone. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 41st SAA Awards, where we will recognize and celebrate the remarkable achievements and contributions of the individuals and organizations at our university.

We applaud the dedication, hard work, and ingenuity that have contributed to our success, and we are proud to stand here and celebrate our joint accomplishments.

Twenty years have passed since the first SAA Awards. This journey brings so many stories and designs to show what the Architecture Department of UNPAR really looks like. SAA Awards have raised the bar on what student final projects should be. Congratulations on this 41st award.
