NEB Prizes 2021: All Applications

Our goal is to transfer the experience of the architectural objects created in artistic workshop to the public spaces. The TowerTopia by Tomasz Domanski  presents unification of modern approach to a garden architecture, in which the artistic abstract objects are existing in symbiosis with the garden. This is an invitation to attentiveness that is available-to-hand and opens up to the societies the richness of aesthetics and intensity of the cultural and natural world in daily life.

INCA°- Interdisciplinary Co-Ability INCA° is an innovative arts and design-based education method that unites various artistic disciplines. It enables an empathic and aesthetic approach to inclusion (e.g. divers impairments, dementia, social disadvantage, disadvantage on the basis of race and gender) and has developed person-centered sustainable education formats. Disability critical questions like 'how to think difference positive' (R Braidotti) open new approaches to education, analog/digital

A young community of transdisciplinary creatives collaborating to redefine our food systems. Our international presence ensures physical impact, centred around European culture, history and its relationship with food, arts and design. By providing spaces for reflection and dialogue, we feed intellectual beauty by documenting proposals and activities through our periodical publications. We use food as a language without borders to integrate planet-driven values at our core practises.

The aim of the Centre of the Earth is to inspire confidence to humans so that to they may enjoy again nature, respect it, and mostly act for its protection and for upgrading their quality of life.

Environmental Social Intelligence is the type of human intelligence that we wish to develop among all users of the precious goods that are offered by the Earth, as it is clear that these goods are finite and that their reckless usage leads to the creation of a social and environmental cost.

Timber Earth Slab is the first timber construction system that can challenge concrete on a global level by providing mass-producibility, high fire resistance and – crucial in hot and warm climates - thermal mass. Harvesting the strengths of timber and earth by robotic fabrication and material science, we have prototyped a cheap and ecological high-performance system with which we can build our ecological cities and high-rises of the future.

Milan is one of the most desirable places for young people who get inspired by Italian culture and want to develop their skills especially in the Arts fields

Therefore the theme of the project is creating a design factory – a place where workshops in Fashion, Design and Photography are organized, as well as contemporary and permanent exhibitions take place which give the opportunity to young talents to express their idea of art.

LET'S TWIST AGAIN turns industrial textile production waste into crafted up-cycled ropes for fashion.
This project started in the 2018, during an Erasmus+ internship, in the VLISCO company, where I had the opportunity to deepen my observation on industrial textile production.
Tuned with the contemporary trends,  the project reinvents the approach in the choice of raw materials, combined with the use of an old machine of rope braiding, taking the up-cycling technique to another level.

This project facilitates the realization of the Way of Saint James considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO by people with visual and intellectual disabilities. Its accessibility is solved thanks to these strategies: Sound guidance application to follow the French Way of St. James, Guidance system in rural areas and an application for the preparation of wandering. In addition, this project evaluates guidance on how to overcome pysical-archectonic barriers, offering alternative routes.

TAREC² aims to transform waste wood biomass ash into resilient construction composites. By superimposing an interdisciplinary approach to identify ash as a valuable raw material for the 21^st century construction industry, the problem of industrial waste is solved while conserving natural resources. The use of WBAs in the construction industry is a decision motivated by environmental protection but also triggered by the application of WBAs in creating sustainable and affordable products.

The aim of this event was to demonstrate the essence of the circular economy to primary school students. Beside theoretical presentations, the activities were aimed at showing children where they encounter the circular economy in their daily lives and to master these principles in practice. Our goal was to show and test specific examples on which the next generation will learn about a way of life that is sustainable and responsible for the environment.
