“Europe – united in diversity” – a new symbol for Europe among 12
May 11, 2010The design of all the flags in Sibiu finished among top 12 out of 1400 participants in the international competition by the Design Den Haag foundation for a New Symbol for Europe. It is being printed in the shape of 2×3 meters and hung in den Haag 31 May to 6 June 2010. How exciting!
As the designer – who gathered the individual designs and designed the memorial – I’d like to thank the organisers, jury, the Bauhaus Kolleg, and the people in Sibiu who took part in 2007.
Pressreleases are here in English, and in Finnish – suomeksi, and in Romanian thanks to my friend Sandra.
They include fancy sentenses such as:
“Europe is a space of experience, not a mere administrative structure. Being European or becoming Europe is a process of learning by doing. The design I proposed is collective work and it could look different in other countries and times: Europe is constantly evolving and, therefore, hard to capture in a single design, identity or model.”
Hi, Emilia!
Came across the great news on the denhaag site. I think it is really great stuff. Congrats!
Cati, from the kolleg
