FRAMEWORK
Ideasforward is a platform founded in 2014 with the objective of organizing international architectural competitions.
In 2020, we will expand our activity through the introduction of debates, exhibitions, formation and development of partnerships with other entities with common goals.
We believe that the future depends on valuing architecture through the education of society as a whole. This is how the partnership between IF and Exposalão is born, which, for the first time, are launching an 'architectural award' edition - DECOR HOTEL DESIGN AWARD.

INTERNACIONAL ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION
DECOR HOTEL DESIGN AWARD 2021
The word hotel derived from the French term hôtel and refers to buildings that frequently welcome travelers. In recent years, the phenomenon of tourism has gained increasing importance, contributing on the one hand to the economic growth of various regions in the world, but also to the unrestrained growth of hotels whose principles are often questionable from the point of view of preservation biodiversity and sustainability of places.
We use this contest to open a debate about what the hotel rooms of the future will be? How can we reverse existing standardization? How can we think of sustainable solutions where human occupation does not pose a threat to the areas where these constructions will be built? How can technology help us to incorporate sustainable materials and practices?
In this sense, the competition aims to rethink the hotel room, combining all the future challenges.

OBJECTIVE
The word hotel derived from the French term hôtel refers to buildings that frequently welcome travellers. In recent years, the phenomenon of tourism has gained increasing importance, contributing on the one hand to the economic growth of various regions in the world, but also to the unrestrained growth of hotels whose principles are often questionable from the point of view of preserving biodiversity and sustainability of places. We took advantage of this contest to open a discussion of ideas: What will the hotel rooms of the future look like? How can we reverse existing standardization? How can we think of sustainable solutions where human occupation does not pose a threat to the territory? How can technology help us to incorporate so-called sustainable materials and practices?
