ReAl13 -Eating Anywhere
International Design competition

COMPETITION GOAL
ReAl13 - Eating Anywhere is the design competition promoted by the CiAl, Consorzio Imballaggi Alluminio (Aluminium Packing Consortium) to promote the responsible designing of objects made of recycled and recyclable aluminium. It invites designers and project engineers to rise to the challenge of this important material by spreading the philosophy of salvaging as a form of ecological culture and conscious participation in safeguarding the human environment. This design awareness raising is broadened here to become a project of social utility.

In fact Real13 is being developed in collaboration with Sos Design which is active in the world of design and solidarity and for years has supported the activities of Don Gino Rigoldi and Comunitš€ Nuova to whom the Real13 Competition will donate 50% of the grand prize money.

COMPETITION SUBJECT
The competition requests that participants design objects mainly made of recycled aluminium or projects that use aluminium as a material of strategic importance (an important component that is an innovative and indispensable function). The objects proposed must have a close relationship with food within a specific scenario of the theme Eating Anywhere. The adverb ¡°anywhere¡± indicates situations that the designer must define. The possible settings can be indicated in two macro areas: the anywhere of daily life and the anywhere of emergencies. The former sees objects used in situations in which food is experienced daily but in settings that are less equipped than usual: events, catering, parties; or in the office, at school, on the beach; but also in airplanes, trains, bikes. The second sees the objects used in some form of emergency, in extreme places or conditions: on the street, in jail, in hospital, in assisted living communities, in nomad or refugee camps, in first response or civil protection scenarios; but also during sports or travels: mountaineers while climbing, motorcyclists in the desert, skiers in the snow, etc. The designer must single out a specific reference scenario (or more than one) within which to solve the problem of food nomadism.

Therefore the project can involve containers and packaging (the performing waterbottle, the bowl, the container that is to be ¡°used/thrown away/recycled¡±, etc.), or utensils and instruments (forks, multipurpose items, pans, etc.), as well as supports and frames (trays, folding tables, etc.) or anything pertaining to the theme of Eating Anywhere. The objects can be dispensable or permanent, or mass production or limited production.
