Roca One Day Design Challenge returned to Argentina on September 18th!

Due to the restrictions imposed by the current pandemic context, this year the contest could took place in an online format. 

In this way Roca continued to fulfill the goal of promoting creativity and young talents, giving visibility to young architects and designers in the early stages of their careers. 

Participants were asked to design a product thinking of its second life once it is removed from the bathroom.

The winners of the first prize were Ulises Ciadamidaro y Juan Sebastian Druetta, students at FADU, with their project "Tilet". The jury highlighted that the product constitutes a new constructive logic in itself, ingeniously responding to the design brief, both for use in its first life, as well as in the second. Although the proposal presents certain challenges for a total feasibility (something that may be possible to solve), the jury considered the innovative approach to the materiality of these typologies very valuable.

The second prize was for the project "Susu", designed by Agustin Claisse student at FADU. The jury considered that the project is a simple, useful, ingenious and flexible idea with a clear second function that enables its assembly and disassembly, using the same original pieces.

Finally, the project "Rega", created by Justin Traverso, student at the National University of Rosario. The jury explained  that the simplicity of the recycling and transformation of the fixed shower into a mobile and portable watering can makes its ideation and initial production feasible as well as its change of future use.
