IAAC, Noumena and Advok communication are very pleased to announce the launch of RESHAPE ® digital craft competition.

RESHAPE ® is a competition of computational design and digital fabrication focused, in its first edition, on the topic of LIVING space.

RESHAPE ® is seeking designers and fabrication centers to create a network of ideas and production.

All ideas have to present a clear fabrication strategy, taking into consideration economic and production aspect.  All techniques must be connected to the use of digital machines such milling, 3d printing and laser cut machine. The scale can vary from small to large size objects.

Is allow to present furnishing, lighting, decoration or tools elements.

We ask participants to be product designers and to design as makers.

RESHAPE ® can became an opportunity for designers to express their ideas and for FabLabs to be part of a new fabrication community.

The competition involves several partners as IaaC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalunya), Fablab Barcelona, Solido 3d and the Mediterranean Fablab, with the media partnership ofArchello, 3DDreaming and Cityvision.

A panel of experts from the fields of computational design, digital fabrication and communication will evaluate ten winning projects.

Jury members are:

Tomas Diez (fablab);Luis E. Fraguada (BAD);Andrea Graziano(Co-de-It);Filippo Moroni (Solido 3d)
Giorgia Olivieri (journalist);Emmanuele J. Pilia (Libreria di TransArchitettura)

The network will judge identifying 10 more projects through an open vote on Facebook.
