The competition looks for creative and advanced ideas, which illustrate the varied design possibilities the material has to offer.<\/p>\n Designs can be submitted by June 16th, 2017.<\/p>\n The task of the competition is the (re)design of an interior by using tiles. The competition is not about the design of a new tile but about showing how tiles can be incorporated in a design in an innovative and creative way. The competition is split into two phases. Phase I: A renowned expert jury selects the nine best ideas from all entries.<\/p>\n Brendan MacFarlane (Jakob + MacFarlane, FR\u2010Paris) Phase 2: the nine winners are invited to a workshop in Iceland. There they are given the opportunity to present their results and further develop their ideas together with experts from AGROB BUCHTAL. In the course of the workshop, floor plans and isometric drawings are developed for the designs. The implementation framework and the budget are specified beforehand, and the projects can be refined in terms of an eventual feasibility.<\/p>\n The workshop is followed by a second jury session, during which the most creative results are determined. These works are implemented on a scale of 1:1 and documented in a professional photo shooting. In what way tiles are used is up to the designer. The design is presented in the form of drawings, renderings, photo montages, floor plans etc.<\/p>\n www.tile-award.com<\/a> l www.ait-online.de<\/a> l www.agrob-buchtal.de<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patterns in architecture look back upon an eventful history. In Germany, they were long regarded as superfluous decoration and dismissed as a passing fad to justify the aesthetic of absolute reduction, whereas, for example, Islamic architecture is characterised by a rich design vocabulary of abstract geometric patterns. Indisputable is, however, the special effect of colours and patterns on human beings: they generate different moods, create special atmospheres and can also evoke emotions and bring back memories. In architecture, these means can be used to specifically arouse associations by adding targeted highlights, emphasising single areas with colour and patterns or powerfully design complete rooms.<\/p>\n At the present time, mobility has become a matter of fact. As much as we appreciate mobility, it often involves stress and rush. If used skilfully here, colours and patterns can have a calming or decelerating effect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n Colours and patterns are able to positively influence people\u2019s health. The conscious integration of these means of design in buildings belonging to the Help\/Care category is therefore all the more important.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n To arouse people\u2019s attention the design of stores, showrooms or trade fair stands tends to be rather expressive. Here, the integration of colours and patterns plays a decisive role, can be courageously and freely interpreted and can break with existing expectations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n Registration and Sumbission deadline: June 16th, 2017<\/strong> 1st jury session: Juli 7th, 2017<\/strong> Workshop with the winners.
