The Cosentino Group, a worldwide reference point for the production and distribution of innovative surfaces for architecture and design, presents the eighth edition of its international competition. The goal of the initiative, for two different categories – architecture and design – is to foster talent among students, promoting research on different approaches to the design and organization of spaces, the use of materials and their construction systems, involving application of Cosentino materials in the final projects. The contest is open to all students registered for the school year of 2013-2014, in any advanced training institution for architecture or interior design, anywhere in the world. http://italia.cosentinonews.com/.
