Inside2013: Competition Winners Announced

August 20th, 2013
On behalf of the competition organizers, collaborators and supporters, the Morpholio Project is proud to congratulate the Inside 2013 Winners. "There's a wealth of talent brimming from the young designers, especially with respect to creative structures for communities." said Diana Budds, Associate Editor of Dwell Magazine. "The submissions take into consideration our increased use of technology, as well as more humble applications, from social to architectural levels, and contribute ideas which are not so far off from being realized in the future." said Birgit Lohmann, Editor-in-Chief of designboom.

Inside 2013 was assembled as a means to publicly promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening amongst today's emerging talent. "The finalists are clearly a group of designers with the depth of understanding, respect and sensitivity to not just provide a project or product solution, but to assess a client's or user's significant requirements." said Cheryl Durst CEO and Executive Vice President of the IIDA. Gregory Han, Tech Editor of apartment therapy called it "an inspiring and imaginative detour from my work as an editor, normally reviewing "finished" products/designs, with each finalist investigating material and structure in ways which reminded me it's as important to remember "what can be" as much as "what already is". All of the submissions exemplified outstanding work and the competition organizers are grateful for the enormous amount of entrants who were bold enough to confront the world with their voice. "Students make the most wonderfully reckless designers because middle managers have yet to crush their creativity." said Mark Wilson of Fast Company Design.

Inside 2013 would also like to give a special thanks to the IIDA, AIAS, AIGA, DBA, Bustler, Archinect, designboom, Dwell magazine, apartment therapy, Wired, Inhabitat, TEDx , Decor 8 and the incredible jury who supported the work. This year's jury included Cheryl Durst of the IIDA, Tim Maly of Wired Magazine, Diana Budds of Dwell Magazine, Jill Fehrenbacher of Inhabitat, Mark Wilson of Fast Company Design, Connie Frances Avila of TEDx, Gregory Han of Apartment Therapy, and Birgit Lohmann of designboom.

Jury Quotes

"The exploratory nature of the Inside 2013 submissions were an inspiring and imaginative detour from my work as an editor normally reviewing "finished" products/designs, with each finalist investigating material and structure in ways which reminded me it's as important to remember "what can be" as much as "what already is"."

- Gregory Han, Tech Editor of apartment therapy

"There's a wealth of talent brimming from the young designers, especially with respect to creative structures for communities-the hostel and convent, for example-and projects that foster environmental awareness, like the urban beehive and the mixed-use seed library and public garden.

-Diana Budds, Associate Editor of Dwell Magazine"

"Students make the most wonderfully reckless designers because middle managers have yet to crush their creativity."

-Mark Wilson of Fast Company Design

"The finalists in both Emerging Voices and Future Talents are clearly a group of designers with a depth of understanding, respect and sensitivity to not just providing a project or product solution, but to assess a client's or user's significant requirements."

-Cheryl Durst, CEO and Executive Vice President of the IIDA

"The inside2013 competition has delivered a number of insightful projects. regardless of the diversity of scale, form and intention behind them, each of the shortlisted works touches on relevant issues related to the development of our society-- notably our digital and consumer culture."

-Birgit Lohmann, Editor-in-Chief of designboom

"It was a honor to be a part of the group of design and thoughtleaders jurying this competition and to be on the "front-lines" to see and assess the finalists in Emerging Voices and Future Talents, who represented a truly comprehensive and exceptional global range of talent, that can most assuredly be called the "future of design"."

-Cheryl Durst CEO and Executive Vice President of the IIDA

"The submissions take into consideration our increased use of technology, as well as more humble applications, from social to architectural levels, and contribute ideas which are not so far off from being realized in the future."

-Birgit Lohmann, Editor-in-Chief of designboom

Call for Submissions

Inside 2013 invites students and young professionals to submit a collection of their "inside" work comprised of up to three digital images. By submitting your work, we invite you to share your voice with the collective intelligence of a community of visual thinkers. The Competition is open to all design disciplines including architects, interior designers, furniture designers, digital fabricators, graphic designers, lighting designers, product designers or any other creative field that creates for the inside. The competition is free to all entrants.

The proliferation of device culture, social networking, and cloud technology are changing the way we create, and connect on a daily basis. For design, this means that technology is not only transforming the process of production, but also the processes through which we share, critique, and organize ourselves around the work we do. The competition is first, and foremost an experiment in distributed intelligence. By leveraging the "wisdom of crowds" every entrant can see and understand how his or her work is experienced by others. It has been predicted that in 2020, there will be 50 billion mobile internet connections worldwide, the equivalent of seven devices per person. Thus, this competition is not simply about the existence of technology, but rather why and how we harness it as designers.

Inside2013 poses the following questions: What are the aspirations by which we evaluate design today? In an increasingly networked culture, what makes a project capable of cutting through the virtual noise, and starting a new conversation? How do evolving forms of media affect the way in which your message reaches its destination? What is your message?

The competition challenges you to confront the world with your work. By sending it out into the field you will test yourself and your projects. You are the designer, the curator and the critic.

Inside 2013 was assembled by designers, professors and students as a means to publically promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening in academia and amongst today's emerging talent. The competition is supported by the AIAS, IIDA, ADC, AIGA and is hosted by The Morpholio Project. The guest jury includes participants from Designboom, Dwell magazine, Apartment Therapy, Wired magazine, Inhabitat, TEDx and Decor 8. We look forward to your participation and recognition.

Judging

Finalists:
A group of finalists will be selected by public viewing called "EyeTime" which captures and records the amount and type of viewing time an image receives. For every second an image or a collection is viewed by others the entrant will accumulate various types of Competition "EyeTme." In addition, the competition organizers will select a minimum of four additional finalists.

Please note:
  1. Entrants are permitted and encouraged to Facebook, Tweet, email and post their entry to as many people as they want to help generate "EyeTime".
  2. Finalists will be selected on a complex formula of special competition "EyeTime" data. Including but not limited to viewing, hits, zooms and more.
  3. Self "EyeTime" will not count and excessive viewing time from a single source will be automatically flagged, limited and evaluated.
  4. The EyeTime number you see reflects the full EyeTime for that image, it will NOT reflect the official competition EyeTime which takes into account select time periods as well as several other competition factors noted above.
Winners:
For each category there will be one winner selected by the guest Jury as well as one winner selected by public "EyeTime."

Guest Jury:
The guest Jury will select a Winner(s) from the finalists.
