The Festival of All Design
FADfest is the FAD‘s annual event celebrating creative excellence. It recognises the work of professionals and businesses and brings design closer to the citizens. A showcase in which to discover the best proposals of the year in architecture, interior design, graphic design, advertising, industrial design, the handicrafts, art and fashion that is held in Barcelona between 6 and 12 of June 2016.
The FADfest will unfold in two directions:
On one hand, «The Best Design of the Year» with the prizes awarded by the different FAD associations and the exhibition that features the shortlisted works. This pivot also organises the Arqu[in]FILM festival of film and architecture.
On the other, this year’s central theme which, with the name of «Dress Rehearsal. Food, Sustainable Emergency and Design» launches the challenge of putting the city to the test from the point of view of food sustainability. Using design’s ability to prefigure new scenarios, we will organise a large-scale meal to demonstrate that another way of producing and consuming food is possible.
