COUNTDOWN is an international design platform aiming to exploring and supporting brand new researches, experimentation and emerging experiences in the fields of contemporary design. It develops through a show-in-progress, a designer in residence, site-specific and material-specific projects, and it will end with an auction.

As COUNTDOWN is a wide platform, there are different ways to participate. They are:

– sending a work for the show-in-progress;
– coming to Bolzano to realize/end a work during a designer in residence;
– coming to Bolzano to realize a site- or material-specific work during a designer in residence.

There is no application form.
The UP-CYCLING edition happens in 2012 in Bolzano, South Tyrol.CALL FOR PROPOSALS DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 17, 2012.
