The seven winners and the projects selected by the exhibition's scientific committee were developed with the companies during a workshop coordinated by Frits Van Donged with the perspective of a united mounting vision of the III Millennium House. The exhibition's fitting and visual system concept has been developed following the idea of sustainability and materials recycle. So was born the idea of an installation composed by a T-shirt on the facade of Palazzo Pacchiani, Historical Prato building housing the event, or that of create the intern of an oneiric cathedral whose space has been defined by arcades and cypress columns. The catalog, as well as the whole fitting visual system, have been realized through a visual system similar to the idea of the future artifact and the natural geometry, emphasized by the employment of a chromatic palette expressly composed, and by materials of contemporaneous workmanship but sustainable.
