FRAMEWORK
Ideasforward is a platform founded in 2014 with the objective of organizing international architectural competitions.
In 2020, we will expand our activity through the introduction of debates, exhibitions, formation and development of partnerships with other entities with common goals.
We believe that the future depends on valuing architecture through the education of society as a whole. This is how the partnership between IF and Exposalão is born, which, for the first time, are launching an 'architectural award' edition - DECOR HOTEL DESIGN AWARD.

38th edition
framework
culturEart
24H is a competition that aims to question the role of architecture in society. Through each edition, we intend to demonstrate precisely our importance as designers in the design of societies. Architecture conditions and guides, but it also frees and excites us. It responds to human, social, and environmental questions. Ultimately it draws the game board where we all move.
In this issue we are going to think about culture.
What is the importance of culture in society?
What is the importance of teaching the arts for a person’s personal development?
Will it make a difference to educate for culture from childhood?
The heart of culture will be the epicenter of all emotions, this Sacred place of wisdom and knowledge that feeds a people and moves them forward. Here minds are opened, and the reason is challenged. Feeling takes place and takes us to places we didn’t know existed.
We will be less reason and more emotion and, therefore, more human.
We will have the ability to dream and unveil the hidden. Learning that 1 + 1 may not be two and a square may not be just a square.
Knowledge through culture has an abstract dimension that cannot be explained, but that is felt. Art is born, and the heartbeats!
PROGRAM
Theme: Cultural Center of the Future
Objective:
In this edition, we want the participants to design the cultural center of the future.
A multidisciplinary space that should welcome all forms of art, not forgetting the importance and weight that the new digital age already has on
society.
This building should have the capacity for large and small events, training and education, work and leisure areas, areas for children, adults, and the elderly. It must be an inclusive space!
There are no areas or specific locations. These are at the participant’s discretion.
The participant must meet only the program requirements!
Note that this is a conceptual contest, so there are not very specific technical requests.

Final Comments
24H competition 38th edition – culturEart
“In a competitive, globalized world, moving towards speaking in only 5 major languages, culture is fundamental to affirm reasoning as a differentiating and qualified element, in addition to the overwhelming advance of artificial intelligence. A cultural unit, it is an island in the sea of indifference to all excesses, which a distracted society promotes in disposable consumerism. All culture is valid.“ Mário Cháves, arch.
“This competition brings a much needed reflection on the importance of culture. After beeing negleted for the last two years, almost to a point of no return, it reeinveted itself and this is a great opportunity to acknowledge it´s importance. Culture alone can save and revitalize wordl's economy and it's humanity. It should be seen as a pilar for every society. This edition showed a multy variety of solutions. Well thought and presented. it´s good to see a critic view on culture´s future. The relevance of digital solutions, the possibility of gathering people into a virtual enviorment. We no longer need to be together to be at the same place, but do we want that to be the future?”, Ala Lagoa, arch.
“The 24H competition has already created a culture and a community of designers and architects. In a way, the current theme responds to that with a focus on culture. The competition asks a hard-to-answer question: How can we design a “center” for a culture of a future which has not been established yet?
I congratulate every project that dares to ask this question.” Duygu Tuntas, arch.

3nd PLACE - ID00060:
