Description
The event aims to define a critical reflection on the topic of materials, technology, and care of places in contemporary architecture; therefore, it proposes to think about the challenges that architecture must overcome with a glance at the sustainability of constructive and environmental processes.
Through a selection of projects presented by the invited speakers – Harquitects and studio albori –, significant design positions will be illustrated with respect to the relationship between architecture and sustainability, in relation to the materials chosen and the contexts of intervention. In particular, the innovative use of traditional materials or the ability to build sensitive and refined combinations between the existing context and new additions. The seminar offers a reflection on the challenges linked to technological innovation and the relationship with the places on which architecture will have to reflect more and more in the near future.
Educational project
The seminar series, promoted in collaboration between the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies and Mapei, explores the contemporary relevance of the relationship between architecture and sustainability and identifies strategies and projects to overcome the current and upcoming ecological and environmental crisis. The architecture-sustainability relationship has been explored in various ways over the last few decades, but it poses new and urgent questions that are increasingly relevant. Viewing the architectural project from a perspective of sustainability, which is simultaneously environmental, economic, and social, is strategic not only for the quality of individual projects but for the future of our cities and urban life. The perspective is to enhance the contribution that the culture and products of an excellent company can give to the quality of the architectural design in a sustainability perspective that is attentive to the material, cultural, and social resources that contribute to the quality and durability of the architecture.
