Sprech Agorà Design Contest

A competition for young talents in architecture and design

Sprech Agorà Design: a competition for young talents in architecture and design.

A physical space, a crossroads of experiences, the meeting of ideas, projects and professionalism. This is the leitmotiv of Agorà Design, the event dedicated to design organized by Sprech Group.

The historic center of Martano (Lecce), the heart of the Grecìa Salentina, will be the place where the roads of design, innovation and artisan tradition will meet to give rise to a vital creative ferment. The goal of the event is to enhance every single step that leads to the creation of something new: idea, design, choice of materials and production; as well as fostering dialogue between new generations of professionals and production companies. The program of the event promises a lively discussion on the themes of architecture and design, on the challenges of the future, with particular attention to: functionality, aesthetic care and environmental sustainability.

Freelancers and companies will have the opportunity to exhibit their projects of architecture and design, with a particular focus on elements of urban furniture and landscape. The public will be able to draw inspiration, attend workshops and discover new trends. For all those who will participate in the competition sections, Agorà Design will not only be a prestigious showcase but the possibility of transforming an idea into a prototype, transforming a pencil sketch in a real design product.
