.The most significant researches for the teaching, the definition and the transmission of the theme proposed will be selected as materials for the final exhibition and for the scheduled publications

The observatory will give the preference to the researches that put in evidence the interactive relation existing, at different levels, between man and space and between space and 'cosmos', that define these different typologies of interactions, that describe traditional or new forms of living based on the consciousness of these relations, that study typologies of houses and of domestic spaces whose quality is the quality of these relations.

Most part of the researches sent will be in any case presented on the Observatory website

The materials must be sent from february 1, 2003 and until march 31, 2003 (date of arrival).
We advise to send the material as soon as possible to allow a careful valuation of this one.

All the costs for the definition of the works for the exhibition (redaction of the works, panels, models,…) and for the sending, if not agreed differently, are at the author's expense. Some partial forms of financing can be, however, considered for some especially interesting works.
