Ciclo ‘Architecture and Sustainability: Matter, Quality, Form’

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, 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.
