Gelora Solutions is proud to join the 6th edition of the Manni Group Design Award as one of the official sponsors. The international architecture competition, launched in collaboration with YAC – Young Architects Competitions, challenges designers and professionals to envision a new model of vertical farm that combines sustainability, offsite construction, and circular resource management.
This year’s edition focuses on the future of urban food systems and calls for innovative solutions that can integrate energy efficiency, environmental performance, and smart logistics within high-density city contexts.
“We are excited to support a challenge that so closely reflects our values,” said Michele Bruni, Managing Director at Gelora Solutions. “The vertical farm is not only a symbol of sustainable innovation, but a real opportunity to rethink how food is produced, preserved, and distributed in tomorrow’s cities.”
By sponsoring the award, Gelora reinforces its commitment to promoting modular, scalable cold chain infrastructure and advanced food logistics that enable better preservation and less waste across global supply chains. The values behind the competition—sustainability, prefabrication, and urban resilience—perfectly align with Gelora’s mission in both emerging and developed markets.
The award is open to designers, engineers, and students worldwide, and will award the most visionary proposals that integrate offsite technologies, smart energy systems, and high-performance building envelopes—many of which are core to Gelora’s solution portfolio.
