The Fridcorp Project People’s Choice Award

September 11th, 2013


As part of the annual Indesign event program, architects, designers, visual artists – creatives in any medium – collaborate with exhibitors to push products and services to their most most imaginative potentials. Each year we select a theme to unite the installations, this year participants worked to the notion of ‘Process’, which connotes both mechanical and biological systems; learning through doing, experience and change.

Each year we invite attendees to vote for their favourite installation and we have great pleasure in announcing that the 2013 Fridcorp Project People’s Choice Award has gone to Europanel and their collaborators Geyer and The Initiative.

Charged with building a space that would serve as a pop-up discussion space, the team delivered us ‘The Podium’. A vast, evocative, pop-up auditorium that proved exceptionally functional in delineating the space as well as demonstrating the superior sound absorption properties of Europanel’s product offering.
