Citilab opens a design competition within the Expolab project
The project Expolab, a laboratory for creating new interactive and participative exhibitions integrating tecnology, innovation, science and design, has begun a competition for designers from all around the world.
The best design will finallly be erected in the exhibition space situated in the ground-floor at Citilab.
The project Expolab is a collaboration with the Tech Museum in San José, California. The designers can contribute with photos, reproductions and text and it is also possible to construct a virtual model in the design environment of the Tech Museum in Second Life. Expolab invites students, designers and other people who could be interested in this project to participate in the competition. The proposals can be uploaded until March 25th via the webpage of the competition
