VIRTUAL TALK WHEEL MCB + ARQXP | 34th MCB Design Award
On November 23, the Museu da Casa Brasileira – an institution of the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy of the state of São Paulo – and ArqXP will meet virtually for the launch of the November edition of the magazine, which will include the catalog of the 34th edition of the Museu da Casa Brasileira Design Award, featuring this year’s awardees.
The programming will take place on the MCB’s YouTube channel from 5 pm and will feature the participation of Giancarlo Latorraca (technical director of the Museu da Casa Brasileira), Gerson Lessa (jury coordinator of the 34th MCB Design Award in the Products category), Teresa Riccetti (jury coordinator of the 34th MCB Design Award in the Written Works category) and mediation by Gustavo Curcio (ArqXP).
Participants will talk about the realization of the first fully virtual edition of the MCB Design Award. Held since 1986, the 34th edition of the contest was interrupted in 2020 after the Poster Contest, due to the uncertainties brought about by the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021, there was time to plan the evaluation activities so that the edition could take place in a virtual format, overcoming the adversities, both budgetary and the still uncertain scenario. The competition received a total of 431 entries, and the edition presented the largest number of written works in recent years, 75 works, of which: 18 were published and 57 were unpublished.
After the conversation round, the magazine that includes the catalog can be purchased for free in digital and physical versions on the website arqxp.com or Instagram @arq_xp.
