| A LIGHT IN THE DARK a competition of ideas |
|||||
| The no-profit organization ANIMA (Soul) – created upon the initiative of the Rome Union of Industrialists in order to develop initiatives designed to promoting and spreading social responsibility and sustainable development, in the framework of the activities for a public awareness-campaign on social issues – is organizing a European competition of ideas on-line. This competition of ideas aims at designing an information point and hospitality centre for homeless people – not necessarily linked to a specific place, but rather as a pattern which can be proposed in different urban contexts. The structure designed shall be included in a module having a maximum size of 4,00 x 4,00 metres and no pre-defined height. The competition is designed to providing a treasure trove of different ideas and visions on the issues of social and ethical solidarity towards the most disadvantaged classes - hence it intends to collect different projects of the new generation of designers who work in Europe with a view to providing a tangible contribution to civil coexistence and the improvement of the urban communities’ life quality. The six most innovative projects will be selected from the wide range of projects submitted by the various participants – that is to say the projects, which can interpret the spirit of this initiative at the best. Requirements, terms and conditions to participate in the European competition of ideas Through their projects, the participants are invited to express their commitment in interpreting the urban “uneasiness”, particularly in the ability to provide useful tools to alleviate and reduce the difficulties experienced by the “homeless”. Participation is free and open to the Architects of the European Union and projects by individuals or groups will be admitted. The registration will take place automatically when the materials are delivered. In order to participate in the competition what follows shall be sent by e-mail to the address www.unioneindustriali.roma.it by June 10, 2002: - two 800x600 pixel digital pictures at 72 dpi (the scale of which can be reduced without losing the possibility of viewing them in JPG or GIF format); - the table, which can be designed and carried out with any technique and means and can include animation elements; - brief biographical notes, including the mail and e-mail addresses of the designer or group of designers, specifically sent together with the two tables in a .doc format file.
