Description
This event focuses on the contemporary Alpine scenario, seen as a fertile context where recent architectural experimentation has yielded exceptional results.
Territories distant from major cities have proven capable of generating architecture and architects able to interpret the challenges of our time with exceptional sensitivity and originality.
Sustainability is one of these challenges, and in the Alps, a region that has always grappled with limited resources, it has found surprising contemporary expressions capable of moving away from a purely technological approach to embrace the many aspects of architectural practice.
Our guests will share with us how the places have influenced their actions, focusing on their personal interpretation of Sustainability in Alpine contexts.
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.
