<p>With the aim of imagining a museum capable of breaking with the conventions of the traditional, the challenge of this competition was to integrate an accommodation program in the heart of the Nivola
Museum’s park. Competitors were therefore asked to imagine and design creative and
unconventional proposals to host those tourists intent on traveling through the Sardinian inland, and
the international artists who periodically reach the museum to set up their own exhibitions.
</p>
<p>The awarded projects were able to interpret the context in a highly sensitive way, experimenting with
different architectural approaches capable of creating unique and original scenarios. It is clear to
notice that both the history of Costantino Nivola and his works of art as well as the natural features
of the site have been key factors in the design of the best proposals. </p>

Launched in October 2020, the CBDX: CITIES FOR ALL competition is an initiative led by the school to tackle larger issues within the design community and foster innovative changes for the future of city building. </p>
<p>Assistant professor Alberto de Salvatierra, inaugural faculty lead and jury chair explained, "Cities—which often ossify systemic inequities through the built environment — have become the fulcrum upon which movements for equity and justice have found increasing leverage. Solutions must come from, and be for, everyone. This competition provides a platform to highlight how architects and designers might address underrepresented and marginalized voices."</p>
