The selection phase for the projects submitted to the thirteenth edition of the Grand Prix, the international architecture competition promoted by Casalgrande Padana, has concluded, and it’s now official: here are the names of the finalists.

It’s been an opportunity for in-depth debate around architecture and its role in contemporary ceramic design projects. It’s offered a excellent perspective from which to observe the state of the art and the potential applications of this traditional yet innovative material. It’s been a demanding endeavour for the judges, given the number, and above all the quality, of the projects submitted. We now have the names of the finalists, and on 24 October, the winners of the 13th edition of the Grand Prix will be announced on 24 October, in the new Casalgrande Padana auditorium
