The Best Collaboration Award at BIO 50 - 24th Biennial of Design Ljubljana: Nanotourism 

"Nanotourism is an outstanding example of design ingenuity being used to reinvent and reinvigorate an important area of the Slovenian and other economies. The quality of the individual projects is exceptionally high. They are original, appealing and so pragmatic that they promise to endure. From a collaborative perspective, Nanotourism is both ambitious and highly complex and has dealt with a range of local communities with sensitivity and charm, while demonstrating the ever more eclectic nature of design and its potential to improve the quality of everyday life."

The Ljubljana Biennale, from AA to Zaven - Abitare English

“It’s probably a form of design exhibition that a lot of visitors will not expect. But one that is very engaging once you start looking and start getting into the projects,” says Konstantin Grcic in the video accompanying the announcement of the Ljubljana Biennale intitled Bio 50 (until 7 December). Together with Alice Rawsthorn and Saša J. Mächtig, Grcic was part of the jury that awarded the exhibition’s highest honour, the Best Collaboration Award, to Nanotourism, a project to revitalize the Slovenian tourism industry by exploiting the disciplinary flexibility and collaborative platforms of design, starting with micro-scale rethinking of graphics, communication and services. (Marco Sammicheli review on Abitare).

The exhibited projects present a well-received variety of new approaches and aspects of challenges of everyday life, but the biggest value of the projects lies in the learning processes and the continuation of collaborations. This attitude, the processes and the communication of the participants are also documented in the rather massive catalogue of the biennial. (HEINI LEHTI­NEN for helsinki design week)
