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
hope
In a world that is undergoing big changes imposed by the unknown, we forced to believe what we don't see.
Leaving our comfort zone forces us to rethink what we once considered to be right and which, after all, can be done in many other ways. We all have to hope that these uncertain times will pass and that after all one thing we all have in common,
we are all human beings regardless of color, race or religion!!
