seminario THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

If one reflects upon the architectural profession in the year 2014, one cannot disregard the economical and ecological context in which buildings are being erected and used. Nor can the architect ignore the fact that precisely his decisions can have a severe impact on environment and on society. Thus he is shaping the context of his own actions.

The two-day seminar that Roca and AxA will organise will focus on architecture, communication, ecology and economy; on the drastic changes that we are going through at this moment and on what we can await and should aim for in the years to come.

The event will be opened by a public showing of the documentary ‘The Lightbulb Conspiracy’ from the director Cosima Dannoritzer, with afterwards a reflection upon the problem of the obsolescence of things by Antonio Turiel.

After a declaration of principles drafted by the association AxA, four conversations will constitute the main programme of the seminar.

Every one of the conversations will be introduced by the moderator. After a short introduction, each of the two participants will give, during 5/10 minutes their vision on the question of the debate, ending in a conversation between both speakers. The whole conversation will take about 60 minutes.

After the last of the four conversations, a debate will follow, with members of the audience participating and ending in a series of conclusions by the moderator-commissary of the seminar.
