We are pleased to announce the start of the exhibition of the ten best projects of the international architecture ideas competition Play the Future. The event will take place at the Belvedere Garden on Lugano lakeside promenade (in front of LAC area), and will offer visitors the chance to admire the projects and vote for their favourite through the Metaverse. The ideas were selected by a jury of experts, chaired by Gino Boila, Director of the Edilizia pubblica department of the City of Lugano.

From 1 to 31 August, visitors will be able to explore the projects both physically and virtually. Each project on the lakeside will be accompanied by a QR code that will allow direct access to the virtual entertainment platform The Nemesis, where it will be possible to vote simply by clicking on the little heart in the interactive pop-up of the individual project. This year, the winner of the Metaverse will be rewarded with a virtual land and the ‘Metaverse Mention’. Access to the platform, as well as by QRcode, is also available at the link: Play the Future in the Metaverse.

In addition, Metaverse users will be able to participate in the “Monte Brè Funicular Quiz”, with a chance to win exclusive funicular gadgets.

“The virtual entertainment platform The Nemesis represents an extraordinary opportunity to involve the public in the final phase of the competition, allowing everyone to express their preference and influence the final result.” said Diego Porzio, Founder and Board Member of BeSpace Group. “The collaboration with The Nemesis and the integration of interactive elements such as the quiz and online voting represent our commitment to digital innovation and youth participation.”

Voting will be open from 1 to 31 August. So don’t miss the opportunity to actively participate in this unique experience and contribute to the selection of the winning project!

Special thanks go to those who believed in the project and decided to support it: City of Lugano, Funicolare Cassarate – Monte Brè, Banca Credinvest, Repeople, BIMticino, Graphisoft Archicad, The Nemesis and Edimen.
