We already have the winners!
We are happy to announce the winners of the first edition of the ideas contest You’re ON!, an initiative that aims to encourage innovation and discover news talents among architecture and design students.
This award claims a recognition to those students who want to develop projects that are exciting, sustainable and new innovative solutions to solve the problems of the present and the future. You’re ON! is a way to reward the students who investigate, explore, create and come up with innovative ideas and concepts.
We have invited both undergraduate and postgraduate students related to the design sector (architects, urban planners, interior designers, engineers…) from any country to present their projects individually. Any academic or personal project carried out previously was admitted, as well as projects carried out specifically for this contest.
On this first edition of You’re ON! contest we have received nearly 400 registrations, a successful participation from all around the world. The jury made a first deliberation in which 6 projects were selected as finalists. In a second session we finally got the 3 winning proposals.
The evaluation of the projects has been done following the 7 values and concepts that inspire us and have identified ON-A during our 15-year trajectory: Innovation, Emotion, Laboratory, Geometry, Coding, Architecture and Design; and Technology.
