For the fourth time, the Tile Award newcomer competition by AGROB BUCHTAL in collaboration with AIT-Dialog calls upon architects and interior designers under the age of 38 to design new, unconventional and sensational interiors with ceramic tiles. The competition looks for creative and advanced ideas, which illustrate the varied design possibilities the material has to offer.
The task of the competition is the (re)design of an interior by using tiles. The competition is not about the design of a new tile but about showing how tiles can be incorporated in a design in an innovative and creative way. This year’s topic of the competition is colours and patterns. Three categories are available. Participants are allowed to work on several categories. According to this, each participant can submit a maximum of three projects. The aim is to implement the best ideas and represent them with a photo shoot for an elaborate architectural publication.
The competition is split into two phases. Phase I: A renowned expert jury selects the nine best ideas from all entries. The jury consists of Brendan MacFarlane (Jakob + MacFarlane, FR-Paris), Johan Oscarson (Elding Oscarson, SE-Stockholm), Michael Stoz (Partner AG, DE-Offenburg) and Christian Waldner (AllesWirdGut Architektur, AT-Wien/DE-München).
