Bristile Roofing Offers Prize of Trip to Venice Biennale for Designers and Architects


As part of its ongoing commitment to building innovation and architectural excellence, Bristile Roofing is offering Australian architects and designers the chance to attend the 2016 Venice Biennale in Italy. The lucky winner will join many of the world's leading architects and building design professionals at the event, which showcases the best architecture from 29 countries, with a national pavilion for each country represented.

The biennale was established in 1895 and is one of the oldest and largest celebrations of art, architecture, and design in the world with over 440,000 people visiting the event over six months from May to November. Held every two years, it is considered one of the most prestigious events on the international contemporary arts calendar.

The Venice Biennale of Architecture is part of this event and since its establishment in 1980, has served as the ultimate world stage for architects and designers to showcase new projects, as well as address and debate the theoretical side of architectural design.

To enter the competition, participants need to submit photographs of a project featuring products from one of the stunning ranges from Bristile Roofing’s La Escandella Ceramica collection of terracotta roof tiles. La Escandella Ceramica represents one of the most stylish collections of roof tiles available on the Australian market, comprising seven profiles and a multitude of colours permitting many architectural options for the roof.

Entries close on 22 November 2015 and can be submitted via the Bristile Roofing and La Escandella Ceramica websites. Entries must be of projects in Australia and must be completed before the end of the competition. The winner will be chosen by the Bristile Roofing judging panel, which will be looking for creative, eye catching, and innovative designs which use La Escandella Ceramica products to the greatest effect. The judging panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

The winner of this exciting competition will immerse themselves in the best architecture the world has to offer for 14 days on a trip valued at over $6,000. In addition, a $4,000 bonus prize will be awarded if the winning entry uses products from Austral Bricks and an additional $4,000 bonus will be awarded if the winning entry uses products from Austral Masonry.
