Presentation - The Future is a Journey to the Past

Mario Cucinella’s forthcoming talk "The Future is a Journey to the Past", will explore past and present notions of sustainability to develop the ecological thinking necessary to bridge the divide between the natural world and human activity – including, of course, architecture. Architectural history, in all its richness, becomes a relevant source of inspiration to educate us about our sustainable past while providing us with tools to become future guardians of the global environment.A selection of projects by Mario Cucinella Architects that contribute to exploring these themes from a contemporary viewpoint and with an eye towards our future challenges will be presented. These include recent works in major cities like Milan but also in much smaller communities in Italian towns and villages demonstrating the positive impact and potential for regeneration and renewal that a single building can have in these settings.Speaker - Mario Cucinella, Founder, MCA Mario Cucinella ArchitectsChair - Jeremy Melvin, Programme Curator, World Architecture Festival Hosted on Acast.
