GECKO: Think Forward

Création Baumann to award prizes for innovative projects using GECKO

In several years of research and development work, Création Baumann developed a silicon-coated self-adhesive textile that can be attached directly to glass and removed again without leaving any residues: GECKO - a world novelty ensuring privacy and glare protection and an effective room design tool.

Within the scope of this competition, projects involving the exemplary and innovative use of GECKO are to be submitted to Création Baumann for appraisal. On the one hand, we are interested in solutions focusing on the functional aspects of the product; on the other, we are interested in projects based on a particularly creative use of the product. Architects, planers, civil engineers, and interior architects with corresponding degrees in architecture, interior architecture, civil engineering, or urban planning are all eligible for participation.

The total prize money amounts to EURO 22,500.00. The best projects in the three categories Functionality, Innovation, and Aesthetics, will be chosen and granted awards. An expert panel of five jurors will assess the projects to be submitted to Création Baumann by March 31, 2009. The festive award ceremony will be held in the early summer of 2009.

The following are entitled to enter the “GECKO: Think Forward” competition: architects, planners, civil engineers and interior architects with a degree in architecture, interior architecture, civil engineering or urban planning.

All documentation must be submitted to Création Baumann by 31 March 2009 at the latest.
