The Heights of Design
22nd June 2007
Unioncamere Piemonte and Regione Piemonte, Italy are holding an international competition of ideas, “The Heights of Design”, open to designers, architects, landscapers and artists who are under the age of 40, for designs of street furniture, installations and interventions, which could be produced using artisan materials and methods, for outdoor spaces in hill and mountain areas in Italy’s Piedmont.
The aim of the competition, which has three prizes of €5,000, €3,000 and €2,000, is to gather and compare ideas and technical, economic and cultural proposals in order to identify forms of furniture and interventions that could contribute to the enhancement of outdoor areas, parks, panoramic points, and significant places in Piedmont’s hill and mountain areas.
Entries must be submitted by 27 July 2007 and will be judged by an international jury of experts.
Once the awards have been announced, the best entries will be selected for production as models and shown in an exhibition in Turin, with plans for shows to be held in other prestigious venues outside Italy.
