Symposium Discussing the State of Italian Architecture

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE?
CRITICAL POSITIONS ON THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE

A symposium at the Istituto Svizzero di Roma, October 15–16, 2010,
curated by Reto Geiser

The first installment in a series of planned biennial symposia that aim to explore the productive intersections and overlaps between art, architecture, and design, this two-day symposium will bring together emerging and established voices to discuss the current state of Italian architecture.

As explained by the oraganizers: In the second half of the twentieth century, such singular figures as Aldo Rossi, Vittorio Gregotti, and Manfredo Tafuri, or collaborative practices such as Archizoom and Superstudio, not only shaped the architectural culture within Italy, but also took a prominent position on the stage of international discourse. Italian architecture gradually disappeared from the limelight as commercially driven forms of building replaced politically motivated manifestos and bold architectural visions in the advent of postmodernism. How has Italian architecture since developed? What does Italian architecture mean today? What is the background against which architecture is currently produced in Italy?

AIA Urges Congress to Save Clean Energy Bond Program
Share
Tuesday, 20 July 2010 07:38
Calls on Congress to Pass Legislation Eliminating Regulatory Obstacles to PACE Bonds.

The American Institute of Architects today called on Congress to pass legislation that guarantees local governments the right to establish clean energy programs through Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) bonds.

PACE bonds are municipal bonds in which the proceeds from the sale of the bonds are loaned to commercial and residential property owners for the purpose of financing energy retrofits. These loans are then re-paid over long periods of time – much like a mortgage - via an annual assessment on their property tax bill. Given the numerous, well-documented benefits that energy efficient buildings offer, PACE bonds are viewed as an innovative tool to help property owners reduce energy consumption.

Della Valle + Bernheimer - Artreehoose in New Fairfield, Connecticut
Share
Monday, 19 July 2010 07:29

Artreehoose-01Wedged into a tight lot along Lake Candlewood in New Fairfield, Connecticut, this new home’s form and structure was derived from observations of trees and an adaptation of local building techniques. The project began with studies of leaf canopies, accumulated ring structures, and the dappled light that filters through groups of trees. Multiple study models in several media (concrete, acrylic, wood, plaster), investigated how light flows through perforations in these various materials.

Della Valle + Bernheimer used these models to observe, secondarily, how certain materials would be suited to creating a stable, discrete, but minimal structure. During the formative process they were interested in designing a house that seemed in large part to float and protect, much like the tree canopies on the site shelter the ground beneath them.

Peter Rose + Partners - Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health
Share
Friday, 16 July 2010 07:43

rose_Kripalu01Architecture firm Peter Rose + Partners has completed the Kripalu Annex, the first step in the firm’s master plan to reshape the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. The project received the AIA National Housing Award in the category of Specialized Housing.

Tucked into 300 acres of dense forest in the Berkshire Mountains, Kripalu (kri-PAH-loo) is the largest and most established yoga retreat in North America. For over 30 years, Kripalu has been teaching skills for optimal living through experiential education for mind, body, and spirit, and this holistic approach was the starting point for the innovative plan that secured Peter Rose the Kripalu commission in 2004.

According to Rose, “Kripalu’s housing needs are modest and straightforward, but the architecture of the Annex, like yoga itself, is full of subtlety and layers of complexity that gently improve the structure’s performance. Light, air, using minimal means to create a calm, healing environment—it’s all about fulfilling these almost intangible requirements.”
