Inspiring Architecture and Design
Cosentino® Design Challenge 14
With the aim of encouraging students from all over the world to create sustainable, innovative projects of high conceptual and technical quality, where they reflect creatively on the issues raised in each category, we promote the Cosentino® Design Challenge, an international initiative that seeks to promote the talent of architecture and design students.
Cosentino® Design Challenge has 32 collaborating schools, universities and educational institutions from all over the world, which accredit its prestige.
In 2020, the decision of the fourteenth edition was held. Six projects emerged as winners, three for each of the two categories (Architecture and Design), and were awarded 1,000 euros each.

Revista C. Arquitecture
& Everything Else
It was born in 2014 as a contribution to the field of architecture, this time from the field of communication, with the dissemination of the best innovations, designs and projects that contribute to making the world more sustainable and beautiful.
It is dedicated both to readers related to the discipline of construction and by those who are alien to it, with the ultimate goal of serving for the promotion of architecture and other related areas.
In 2017, the magaceen.com version was launched, hosted on the Cosentino® website.
