Ten Scholarship Winners Begin Their Work: Studies on the Topic Universal HomeYoung designers and architects from all around the world were invited to apply for one of a total of ten scholarships which were awarded by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen on behalf of Entwicklungsgesellsc haft Zollverein.
From among the more than 50 applications from 24 nations the three jurors Professor Ron Nabarro from Israel, architect Professor Karl-Heinz Petzinka, and Professor Dr. Peter Zec, president of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen and president of the world umbrella organisation of design Icsid, selected ten applicants.
Today they met for the first time in the premises of the red dot design museum to get to know each other and for the introductory lecture on the topic they will be dealing with over the next 12 months: 'Universal Home'.
The scholarship winners will allow a first insight into their work at a symposium on 15 November 2006.
