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.

FRAMEWORK
farmer
In a period of great changes, society begins to rethink the concept of inhabiting the city at the expense of the countryside. More than ever, we talk about the sustainability of cities concerning mobility, energy efficiency measures, and green economy.
With the coronavirus pandemic we learned to live more closed and, at the same time, closer to each other, through the development of teleworking, with all the benefits that this brought to the environment and in particular to the decongestion of cities. We also learned to value local produce and products and quickly started to appear small farms that brought our products home. The countryside has always been a viable alternative to the city, but not everyone can move there. Will the city be able to adapt to new urban, social, and environmental requirements?
