Organised by Laka Foundation, architecture Competition titled Design that Educates Awards (DtEA) 2020, an multidisciplinary call for ideas, has been recently announced for entries inviting everyone worldwide to participate.
The objective of the awards is to recognize, showcase, and promote globally the best ideas and implementations of architecture and design that educate. The design itself may provide an informative and educational layer that guides us through the increasing complexity of our environment. It can showcase specific possibilities and challenges, explain sociocultural factors and influences, or even outline new scenarios for future development.
The Design that Educates Awards (DtEA) investigate the educational potential of architecture and design. The ability to communicate the implemented solutions and features is the main theme of the awards. Such an informational layer of design and architecture provides an important (yet not fully explored) opportunity for a dialog between the user and the designer. The result—a new type of learning environment—provides a space for the exploration of both the design itself and its relation to the vaster context.
