The seminar series, promoted in collaboration between the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies and Mapei, explores the relevance of the relationship between architecture and sustainability and identifies strategies and projects to overcome the current ecological and environmental crisis. 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 second seminar of the series will delve into the intricate factors that define the appropriate technologies: climate responsiveness, cultural relevance, resource efficiency, and adaptability. The seminar will be held by two international firms that have been working on issues of the appropriate technologies in the last few years: Anupama Kundoo and TAMassociati.
Anupama Kundoo research-oriented practice started in 1990 in Auroville has generated people-centric architecture based on spatial and material research for low environmental impact while being socio-economically beneficial.
TAMassociati studio, based in Venezia, specializes in IMPACT DESIGN. Internationally, TAMassociati works on sustainable and socially equitable architecture. Some of the completed projects include: The Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery for Emergency NGO in Sudan and Children Surgery Centre for Emergency NGO in Uganda with Renzo Piano.
