It is the Connecting Spaces' the central theme of 'Design Competition in Expo Dubai 2020call for ideas dedicated to young people designer with the aim of seeing the prototype of an innovative project also related to the themes of Expo Dubai 2020 realised. The call for entries, which is expected to be snapped up by young Italian artists, is promoted by the Lombardy Region and the Milan Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Milan Polytechnic, so that typical Italian design can be promoted in the world. Thanks to the participation of Campus lecturers and students, an opportunity is given to make oneself known in the world of designers through a highly competitive event.
The themes of the Design Competition in Expo Dubai, as reported on ComoLive, start from the "connection"which in turn branches off into three parallel directions, linked to the innovative productions, at digital technologies for theinterconnection of spacesto design as a reference point used to connect people. The call for entries is open until January 2019month in which applications will then be closed and the twenty best projects will be chosen, on the assumption that they may be ideas that can be realised in practice through the subsequent presentation of individual prototypes. The link to the Expo Dubai themes for this edition of the Design Competition must in any case be in line with the themes chosen by the Italian Pavilion, 'Creativity, Connection and Knowledge'.
How to enter the Design Competition.
Each group of participants must be under the age of 35 years, have a degree in the field of design, in engineering or in architecture. You must also be resident in Lombardy or have been enrolled in a course or university in the region. The competition opened on 22 May, and each application can be submitted by accessing the Lombardy Region. Designers and students from the United Arab Emirates will also be involved in the project through prizes. In January 2019, the best twenty ideas will be selected by an international jury, and grants of up to 20,000 euro each will be awarded for the development of the project. The prototypes themselves, once completed, can be presented at most design events in Italy, as well as at the Design Competition in Expo Dubai 2020.
This is a further opportunity to make Italian design known throughout the world. And specifically, Made in Lombardy, in this way, has the opportunity to confirm itself as an added value to Italian design, generating exports of almost 5 billion euro per year. The city of Milan leads, followed by Monza Brianza and Como.
