Sprech Group, italian company, has recently announced new design competition dedicate to all independent professionals and companies, giving them the opportunity to present their architecture and design projects during the design event, with a major focus on street furniture and landscape elements.
Design competition organised by Sprech Group and titled Sprech Agorà Design Competition 2018 gives to all independent professionals and companies the opportunity to present their architecture and design projects, with a major focus on street furniture and landscape elements.
The historic centre of Martano (Lecce), the heart of Grecìa Salentina, will be where the roads of design, innovation and artisanal tradition intersect, giving life to a dynamic creative success.
The event aims to promote each of the steps leading to the creation of something new - idea, project, choice of material and production - and to encourage dialogue between new generations of professionals and manufacturing organisations. The programme promises a lively discussion on themes from architecture and design, and on the challenges of the future, with particular attention paid to functionality, aesthetic interest and environmental sustainability.
Independent professionals and companies will have the opportunity to present their architecture and design projects, with a major focus on street furniture and landscape elements. The audience will be inspired, participate in workshops, and discover new trends. For those taking part in the competitions, not only will Agorà Design be a prestigious showcase, but the possibility to transform an idea from pencil to prototype.
As in the previous edition, the Sprech Group works to prototype the best projects for potential commercialisation.
From design to market, to ensure innovative projects have the chance to undertake the production journey that will make them the protagonists of everyday life.
The event has the purpose of promoting and representing the potential for the manufacturing sector and also to allow national resources and intelligence to emerge.
“Sprech Agorà Design 2018” is therefore an opportunity that will promote this process which encourages a place of meeting and synthesis between the tradition of creating and new trends, with the aim of developing an inevitably European identity.
