We confirm the cash prize of 30.000 euro, the 30.000 copies of catalogues and, overall, the final exhibition in Milan.

The economical crisis has been useful to think about the result of the contest related to the expectations of our participants. We decided to postpone the date to enter it to look at the socio-economical context and work on new key strategies.

We have already joined the arena with the cycle IDEECOSTRUTTIVE (*), hosting those people who play a starring role in the culture and industry of living. Next appointment is scheduled December 21th at the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery, in the centre of the city of Milan. We have consolidated our presence in the Net through our webzine “House living and business”. Now, we decided to transform the contest in something completely new: a Network of Ideas where every project will have its own interactive webpage.
We imagined and realized the Interactive Reality ArtShow.

You’re still in time to enter the Ecohousing Art Contest and to be in the middle of a debate, sharing ideas and vibes with all the Net.

For the first time, on Ecohousing Art website we’ll give to every artwork and project a dedicated webpage and, from December 21th, an interactive page. It means that each participant will have a continuous dialogue with the popular jury, as to say people from everywhere that every day, after the registration in the website will be willing to vote, comment and discuss every artwork or project!

AIMS

Ecohousing Art has been created to give birth to economical and cultural relationships between people with ideas and people eager to acquire and develop them: artists and art dealers and curators, designer and companies, architects and engineers, builders and citizens.
To achieve this, Ecohousing Art provided itself with a network of ideas, becoming a forerunner, a website dedicated to creative, cultural and professional information and relationships. Artworks and projects will be the hearts of this Net, with hundreds of users and participants orbiting around them.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, the website www.ecohousing-art.it

In the website www.ecohousing-art.it participants and people’s jury will share publicly every aspect of the pieces and the projects.

The participant will obtain an userId and a password to access his own 5Mb page that he can use autonomously, inserting images, texts and videos. Through the webpage people will vote him and he will be able to answer the comments.
Popular Jury will receive the userId and the password to vote, comment and acquire pieces and projects from the contest.
Technical jury, composed by over 60 people from the culture and industry of living, will have an institutional role by expressing votes in the subsequent phases of the contest.

The most voted artworks and projects will be shown immediately on the new homepage in two sections: one with their real time ranking and another one with the daily selection, made by the coordinators of the contest. Besides, on the homepage you can see the most recent comments to be aware second by second of the most chatted artworks and projects and of what has been saying about them. All of this in a renewed cool designed version!

ECOHOUSING ART, WHAT IS IT? (dedicated to people who don’t know it yet…)

It’s a contest of Ecoconstructive ideas reserved to junior and senior artists, designers, architects and engineers. Participants will realize artworks and projects to inhabit the spaces into the perspective of an Ecological Living Integration, which means a new balance among men, houses and environment. Because man is at home in the world and the world becomes home inside every man. This is why we would like to conjugate the natural environment and the built one.

It’s a new model of development – economic, social, aesthetic – based on talent and creativity, interdisciplinary planning, communication and exchange among all the individuals: professionals and students ready to play by proposing on-line their ideas; firms and investors looking for new concepts and citizens willing to live in a responsible, satisfying and harmonious way.

From the chaos of the language of the ideas to the transparency of shared choices in Living Culture

Ecohousing Art nasce per creare relazioni economiche e culturali tra chi ha le idee e chi le vuole sviluppare o acquisire: artisti con galleristi e curatori, designer con aziende, architetti e ingegneri con costruttori e cittadini.
Per raggiungere questo obiettivo Ecohousing Art si è dotato di un sistema di networking delle idee: i nodi di questa rete sono le opere e i progetti attorno ai quali navigano utenti e partecipanti.

Nel sito www.ecohousing-art.it i partecipanti e la giuria popolare condividono pubblicamente ogni aspetto delle opere e dei progetti.

Il partecipante riceve userid e password per accedere alla propria pagina web da 5Mb che gestisce autonomamente inserendo immagini, testi e video. Attraverso la pagina web riceve i voti della giuria popolare e risponde ai commenti pubblici che ogni utente registrato può lasciare.
La giuria popolare riceve userid e password per votare, commentare, acquisire opere e progetti a concorso.
La giuria tecnica, composta da oltre 60 protagonisti della cultura e dell’Industria dell’abitare, svolge un ruolo istituzionale che si esprime attraverso votazioni di competenza nelle fasi successive del Concorso.

La nuova homepage mette subito in primo piano opere e progetti attraverso le diverse classifiche proposte sia dal database, aggiornato in tempo reale, che dal coordinamento. Inoltre sono visibili i commenti più recenti che arrivano direttamente dalle pagine delle opere e dei progetti, per sapere sempre quali sono i più chiacchierati del momento e che cosa si dice di loro. Il tutto in una nuova veste grafica intuitiva e glamour!

È il concorso di ideecostruttive riservato a junior e senior artisti, designer, architetti e ingegneri.
I partecipanti realizzano opere e progetti per abitare gli spazi in ecologica integrazione abitativa, per un nuovo equilibrio del sistema Uomo-Casa-ambiente perché l’uomo è a casa propria nel mondo e il mondo si fa casa nell’uomo. Ecco perché coniugare l’ambiente naturale con l’ambiente costruito.

È un nuovo modello di sviluppo – economico, sociale, estetico – basato sul talento e sulla creatività condivisi, sulla progettazione interdisciplinare, sulla comunicazione e lo scambio in rete tra tutti i soggetti: professionisti e studenti disposti a mettersi in gioco proponendo on line le proprie idee; professionisti, aziende e investitori in cerca di nuove idee e cittadini che desiderano abitare in modo responsabile, soddisfacente, armonioso e bello.
