“It seems really amazing that you have already launched the second BrickStainable Competition bringing back to us all the exciting memories from last year. Since we left Washington, DC we had the best impressions about the whole experience you have offered us and we felt the stimulus of being exposed to such a great amount of thinkers from different disciplines. We consider your competition the starting point for a very particular research that deals with the component of construction as its basic module. In this way we can explore more “bottom-up” systems of producing space, rather than traditional “top-down” methodologies. Inserting context to these systems like sustainability and bioclimatic design turned out to be really intriguing to us. 
Once more we thank you for opening this competition to the design community, pushing our research to a level that promotes contemporary design and finds applications to the latest tendencies of architecture.
In this frame we decided to take our ideas to another level and felt confident enough to promote our ideas back to Europe. Through this process our winning entry has been selected with 46 more in its category, among 256 international entries, to participate in the 22nd biennial of industrial design in Ljubljana, best known from its acronym BIO. BIO is one of the few major international exhibitions that have a tradition of more than 45 years of pushing the envelope in contemporary design.” – Flora Bougiatioti, Maria Eftychi & Aimlios Michael, Cyprus
Congratulations to Flora, Maria & Aimlios, Technical Design winners from the 2009 BrickStainable Design Competition. More detail about the BIO exhibition is available at: http://www.bio.si/
