Objectives In order to recognize innovative and original research, newitalianblood.com & kwArt.com are organizing an international, interactive ideas competition that explores the potential of exhibiting in real and/or virtual environments.

The competition is organized under the 'patrocinio' of: Consiglio Nazionale degli Architetti, Ordine degli Architetti di Roma, American Academy in Rome, l'Arca, Assessorato alle Politiche del Territorio and Ufficio Concorsi del Comune di Roma, Assessorato alle Politiche Culturali del Comune di Roma. 2.
