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.

(*) Eco-constructive ideas – work in progress
From the chaos of the language of the ideas to the transparency of shared choices in Living Culture

Paulo Coelho nel suo libro “l’Alchimista” … Chiunque tu sia o qualunque cosa tu faccia, quando desideri una cosa con volontà, è perché questo desiderio è nato dall’anima dell’universo. E quando tu desideri qualcosa, tutto l’universo cospira affinché tu realizzi il tuo desiderio… e noi di House Company lo sappiamo bene.
Stiamo costruendo con voi e grazie a voi il nostro desiderio, che è quello di dare vita ad un laboratorio interdisciplinare in cui opere e progetti possano emergere ed essere catturati dal sistema Paese, perché siamo visionari e immaginiamo un futuro costruito con l’energia pulita della mente e lo sforzo creativo di molti di voi.

Il nostro desiderio di realizzare Ecohousing Art ci ha permesso e ci permette di conoscere le vostre idee, di percorrere insieme un pezzo di strada accompagnandovi per un tratto nel vostro viaggio verso la realizzazione dei vostri desideri che ogni giorno prendono forma in questa nostra casa aperta per voi, che sta diventando uno spazio di cohousing per idee eco: noi stessi diventiamo parte di quell’universo che cospira affinché possiate realizzare le vostre opere e i vostri progetti.

Guardandoci attorno, analizzando i fenomeni contemporanei che abbracciano l’arte, l’architettura, il design stiamo rilevando un importante processo di trasformazione degli oggetti in soggetti dell’abitare per due motivi molto semplici:
da un lato gli oggetti portano il carico delle idee e delle energie di più menti creative e di importanti spiriti imprenditoriali, dall’altro le persone si accostano agli oggetti non più in modo meramente funzionale o meramente estetico o – peggio – compulsivo; esiste un vero e proprio scambio di emozioni ed un senso di appartenenza dinamica ed affettiva che spinge a circondarci della sobria lussuosità di queste presenze oggettuali da cui ci lasciamo accompagnare nel quotidiano, in una riscoperta dimensione di benessere e di cultura dell’abitare.

Questa trasformazione, che coinvolge profondamente tutte le vostre progettualità a livello più o meno conscio, è un processo lento e in divenire che noi vogliamo a tutti i costi mostrare e rilanciare perché è in questa direzione che muove il futuro, assieme alle nuove esigenze legate alla sostenibilità di processi e materiali.
Per questo abbiamo deciso di allungare i tempi del concorso, perché il tempo diventi uno strumento posto a vantaggio di tutti i soggetti coinvolti per il raggiungimento di obiettivi condivisi.

A voi partecipanti viene riconosciuto più tempo per coniugare impegni professionali o di studio con Ecohousing Art, voi utenti giuria popolare meritate di vedere tutti i processi creativi di opere e progetti che ancora non sono stati caricati e che non potranno rendersi visibili solo a idee concluse.

Da dicembre le pagine delle opere e dei progetti sono ancora più glamour,
facili e divertemti da consultare. Tutte le votazioni sinora accumulate sono valide.
A tutti auguro un grande successo.
