Behind every bold idea is someone willing to see its potential. For Benilde Open Design + Art 2025, that responsibility falls to an international panel of judges made up of leading voices in design, architecture, technology, and contemporary culture. Together, they have reviewed this year’s submissions and selected the grantees whose concepts best respond to the theme, “Extension of Nature”,helping shape which ideas move from imagination to real-world realization.
Coming from museums, universities, global companies, and cultural institutions, the jury reflects what Benilde Open is about where art, design, and innovation meet to imagine future facing ideas rooted in the world we live in. Each judge brings a distinct perspective, united by a shared commitment to champion bold, thoughtful work that pushes boundaries.
