The Tapestry Design Prize for Architects (TDPA) is the only international competition for architects to design specifically for tapestry. The TDPA was the initiative of former Chair of the Australian Tapestry Workshop’s (ATW) Board of Directors Peter Williams AM, based on the longstanding historical connection between architectural space and tapestry design. The award seeks to foster new creative dialogues between architects and contemporary weavers, and offers architects an unparalleled opportunity to consider the capacity by which tapestries can articulate, transform and enrich public and private space. The TDPA is a unique award and the only one of its of its kind in the world.
