2023 sees the new edition of Agorà Design, a biennial event focusing on the culture of architecture and interiors, which has taken place in Martano in the province of Lecce, in the heart of Greek Salento, since 1996. For a week, the town's historic centre will become a meeting place for designers, students, artisans, academics and entrepreneurs, but also for the free circulation of ideas about the cultural and social implications of architecture.
Agorà Design is a hotbed of young international creatives, who are also given opportunities to compete with the leading names in contemporary architecture who attend the conference. Agorà Design has welcomed as speakers and panellists: Stefano Boeri, Benedetta Tagliabue, Walter Mariotti, editorial director of Domus, Marco Rainò, architect and contributor to The Plan and many others.
The competition invites participants to send original projects for the two sections: LIVING, for interiors, and GARDEN, for outdoor solutions. In addition to cash prizes for the section winners, all entrants are offered the opportunity to turn their design into a product. This is thanks to Sprech Srl, the event's main sponsor, which undertakes to choose some of the projects presented after the event, and make prototypes for inclusion in its product catalogue. An unprecedented opportunity in Italian architecture and design competitions.
Entry to the competition is free and there is no charge.
You have until Monday 3 July to sign up.
