Ideasforward is a new Internet platform, founded in 2014 that organizes international contests for ideas. Through the special contests ideasforward wants to stimulate and develop critical thinking and creative skills in theoretical thinking about the future of cities, reinforcing the importance that art, architecture and design have in their development. NeWoSpa (New Work Space) is a new experimental competition that will force new ideas and critical thinking on cities-the new competition will make a new open call on September 1,2015. 

The "NeWoSpa" aims to be a space, not physical, where imagination / emotion overrides reason. Is a new concept to discuss ideas about the future of cities and societies. Inspired by the book "Einstein's Dreams" by Alan Lightman and "Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino, ifideasforward created a webserie organized by 4 webisodes. Each of these wepisodes culminates with the launch of a design competition. Here ifideasforward intend to discuss, test, experiment and try out new ideas. This competition does not impose limits or barriers, just follow instinct and will. Ifideasforward wants to break rules and assumptions introducing new issues into the public debate.

Stay tuned for the fresh news about new competition!
