The strength of the Dedalo Minosse Prize lies, in fact, not only in itself as a meeting point between contemporary architectural culture and society, but also in creating connections between famous architects and younger generations. The client has also the role of supporting the design activities of young architects as future heritage of the community.
"On this occasion - said Marcella Gabbiani, director of the Prize- more than ever perhaps, the Dedalo Minosse was focused on dense exchanges of ideas and experiences of a world going through major transformations in which re-think the role of the architect and his relationship with the client and the company.
This award aims to be a tool available not only for architects but also for those who are interested in the quality of the environment in which we live."
The presenter of the award ceremony was Alessandra Comazzi, journalist for La Stampa and director of Archiworld.tv, who was always attentive and passionate about architecture and culture.
The set of the events are Palladian buildings in Vicenza, such as the Olympic Theatre and Palazzo Valmarana Braga, which have an international appeal for the world of architects and clients, which from Japan, Australia, the USA, South America, Europe and all over Italy came to celebrate the Prize.
