Duepercinque: design contest at the Public Design Festival. Deadline for applications: 10 February 2010
During the Salone del Mobile (Milan's furniture fair), on April 13-18th 2010, the second edition of Public Design Festival will take place in Milan: a festival aimed in the first place for designers and architects, but also for public administrators, companies, and common citizens to focus on public spaces, and on how they are conceived and designed, or, on the contrary, neglected. The Festival will host “duepercinque”, the design competition created to make the public opinion more aware of the public space as a context for projects, and to offer everyone - Italians and foreigners alike - the opportunity to express their creativity in a festival which talks about public space and enjoy a prestigious showcase, such as Milan's Salone del Mobile and other important events in Milan.
Participants shall design an intervention in a urban (2x5-metre) parking space. They may submit different kinds of projects, such as installations, communication projects, services for the city, actions, urban furniture items, or performances. Submitted projects shall be related to public space according to guidelines as stated in the open call, and shall be new and novel, and especially developed for this competition.
The projects and the enclosed information sheets shall be uploaded on the website by the midnight of February 10th 2010.
