Collective housing is a hallmark of Europe. The 2nd edition of the award is looking for collective housing projects to highlight their social impact and the policy frameworks that support them. Submissions are free and open until 30 April.

Post-industrial modernity generated a wide range of collective housing models that left a lasting mark on European cities and architectural history: from the Hofs of Vienna and the Weissenhof Siedlung to Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation and the works presented at Berlin's Interbau.

The excesses of the modern movement cast a long shadow over social housing – a stigma that post-modernity failed to dispel. Yet since the turn of the millennium, new forms of collective housing have re-emerged, reconnecting with welfare-state ideals amid pressures from urbanization, property market tensions and ecological urgency.

Tile of Spain returns to Fuorisalone with "Spanish Design As A Souvenir"
Tile of Spain, the international promotion programme of the Spanish ceramic tile industry led by ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones and ASCER (Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers' Association), will present Spanish Design As A Souvenir at Fuorisalone 2026. The installation, conceived by Madrid-based practice Codoo Studio, will be on show at the Università degli Studi di Milano — Ca' Granda (Via Festa del Perdono, 7) as part of MATERIAE, the major exhibition event organised by Interni Magazine during Milan Design Week, from 20 to 30 April 2026.
Spanish Design As A Souvenir is a contemporary still life at architectural scale: eleven oversized sculptural objects, each one a reinterpretation of an iconic element of Spanish material culture — from the flamenco trivet to the Dalí-inspired lips sofa — entirely clad in ceramic tile. The project brings together 15 Spanish ceramic manufacturers, each brand assigned to one or more of the eleven pieces: Cristacer (El Salvamanteles), Vives (Las Castañuelas), Arcana (El Plato), Dune Cerámica and Harmony (El Aceite), Decocer and ECerámico (El Cenicero), Colorker (La Camiseta), Cevica (La Milán 430 and La Pajarita), Argenta and Tau Cerámica (La Bota), Apavisa, Gayafores and El Barco (El Imán), and Vidrepur (El Beso).
The installation follows Tile of Spain's participation at Fuorisalone 2025 with The Light in the Darkness, designed by Viruta Lab, which attracted over 270,000 visitors at the same venue.

Dates: Thursday 26 March - Saturday 28 March 2026
