International Design Competition | Spark Awards

Upon our recent invitation, Spark will become part of the launch exhibition of the new Autodesk Design
Center, at One Market and Embarcadero in San Francisco. (Where the windows arch... !)

Spark will jury the Phase II Competition in the ADC, hold a one-day conference-workshop amidst
the entries (with all 2007 and 08 entrants invited, at no charge), then in October, we'll invite
entrants and friends to a gala awards reception and premiere of the winner's
exhibition. A significant portion of the SparkAward winners will be on display for following year.

As one high-level designer wrote: "Awesome! This is a huge win for our professions."

Said Spark Executive Director, Peter Kuchnicki, "Autodesk is Autocad, Revit, Maya
and many other incredible tools that touch all of us in many ways, from the soaring
buildings we marvel at, to advanced transport, to stunning entertainments. It is a real
honor to collaborate with Autodesk, the very company who first sparked our
Designing Worlds competitions back in '01/'02. It doesn't get any better than this."

Located in the former Southern Pacific Rail building
at the epicenter of San Francisco, the ADC explores
the Future by Design.
