The international presentation series “architecture in the foyer” is dedicated to authentic insights from architects. Their philosophy and projects are the central focus of the day. Once again, we have acquired renowned speakers from Europe and overseas. However different their backgrounds, work styles, focal points and attitudes to architectural issues may be, they have a lot in common because they don’t think of architecture in isolation, but within the larger and smaller context. They put people at the centre and create useful, empowering and motivating buildings with added value. 

What to expect: The event will take place in the Solarlux Foyer in Melle. On Friday, we will once again be offering our popular factory tours. Simultaneous translation available. There will be no live stream online. Looking forward to seeing you here at the Solarlux Campus.

The Design Educates Awards recognise the educational potential of architecture and design. The ability to communicate the implemented solutions and features is the main theme of the awards. Such an informational layer of design and architecture provides an important opportunity for dialogue between the user and the designer. The objective of the awards is to recognise, showcase, and globally promote the best ideas and implementations of architecture and design that educate.

The competiton is founded by Laka, an international network based in Poland. Since its beginning the awards are supported by Solarlux.
