About Competition
Introduction: Welcome to City Comforts – Street Furniture Design, an exciting competition organized by Archiol Competitions. This competition invites designers, architects, and urban planners from around the world to showcase their creativity and innovation in reimagining street furniture for urban environments.
Street furniture plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of urban life, providing comfort, convenience, and aesthetics to residents and visitors alike.
