The Instituto Tomie Ohtake Leroy Merlin Design Award is not restricted to specific categories; rather, it aims to explore the relationship between design and other fields, such as architecture, biology, engineering, and social sciences. Aimed at university students from all disciplines, each edition will propose a challenging theme to inspire innovative solutions that address contemporary issues, exploring our social, political, urban, and housing landscapes, as well as technological demands, new equipment, publications, and digital media.
For this first edition, the theme is SHARING. "The proposed theme allows for interpretations that have gained different emphases regarding the need for the use of our spaces, whether urban or smaller in scale; the utilization and reuse of our resources, in direct synergy with sustainability programs; and the increasingly frequent use of online platforms and software that permeate our daily lives, among many other examples," states Priscyla Gomes, from the Research and Curatorial Department at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake.
