 Panini Design Contest: Redesign the Bank Branch of the FuturePanini S.p.A., a Turin-based international company active in the payment system and imaging field, always attentive to developments in the fields of design and innovation, has organised "Share a New Vision", a contest to redesign the bank branch of the future.A contest open to designers, architects and creative artists from all over the world who are invited to rethink the interior of a bank in terms of innovation, interaction and multichanelling. Organised as part of Torino 2008 World Design Capital, the aim of this contest is to provide an answer as regards needs for interaction, relationship and involvement that will be features of banks in the future. The aim of the "Share a New Vision: redesign the bank branch of the future" contest is to "rethink" spaces intended for branch customers in terms of their functionality, ergonomics and design. A bank branch is a complex system that includes transactions concerning the exchange of documents, information and data, but above all relationships to provide services and build loyalty. The branch is, in fact, a key factor in a bank's communication strategy. From a strategic standpoint it represents the "moment of truth" for financial institutions, one of the essential elements of the bank's multichannelling and communication with customers, the focus of all efforts underlying the various services offered. competition (ended) current design competitions more Panini Design Contest: Redesign the Bank Branch of the Future design directory Interior Design Awards added by Levent OZLER |

 RIBA Awards 2008: Call for EntriesThe Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is once again on the lookout for potential RIBA Stirling Prize winners.Following on from the success of David Chipperfield's Museum of Modern Literature in Germany in October, the search has begun to find the best examples of new British architecture. Practices up and down the country are urged to submit projects of architectural excellence into the 2008 RIBA Awards scheme. The RIBA awards programme, supported by The Architects' Journal, is largely unchanged following the successful introduction of a new pyramid structure in 2007. RIBA Awards are judged and presented locally, with the RIBA National Awards judged and presented nationally. The next level is the RIBA National Awards which are judged and presented nationally. The RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist is selected following further visits to winners of the RIBA Awards and of RIBA European Awards for buildings in the rest of the EU. From 2008, the RIBA Stirling Prize goes back to its roots as a "built or designed in Britain" prize, for which only RIBA Award-winning buildings in the UK by RIBA Chartered members and International Fellows, OR buildings in the rest of the EU by practices whose principal office is in the UK, will be considered. The move will strengthen the British connection with the prize while maintaining the competitive edge that buildings in Europe have always provided. competition (ended) current design competitions more RIBA Awards 2008: Call for Entries design directory RIBA > Architecture Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 Frank Gehry to Design Serpentine Gallery's Next PavilionFrank Gehry, whose design for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao spurred a cultural revival in the northern Spanish city, will be the next architect of the Serpentine Gallery's temporary pavilion, the gallery said.Every year since 2000, the Serpentine, a former tearoom located in London's Hyde Park, asks an architect or artist to put up a provisional structure that serves as a venue for evening talks and events, and, by day, as a cafe. Previous pavilion architects Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas have, like Gehry, been winners of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. more www.blo...
