Arkeda 2022: DNA at the heart of the programme

Arkeda 2022: DNA at the heart of the programme

Arkeda 2022 theme is the DNAunderstood as Design/Nature/Architecture.

The reference to nature and to sustainability is an essential element for the concept that Arkeda he wants to propose in his Exhibition of architecture, construction, design and furniture to be held at Naples, in Show Overseas in the days 2, 3 and 4 December 2022, for its ninth edition.

The concept of nature as the keystone in Arkeda 2022

The construction also becomes a secondary element, in second place, with respect to the predominant and substantial element of nature.

With respect to this orientation, Arkeda maintains that he must train the new class of architects and that he must introduce a humanistic structure and a direct look at the environment.

It is also necessary to bear in mind virtuous results in large dimensions, they can only be achieved through the sum of virtuous details and, likewise, the management and growth of a conscious and sustainable company in architectural terms can only pass through small sustainable and aware professional interventions.

Every architect must be aware of the responsibility he carries on his shoulders, since his ingenuity contributes to the construction of the DNA chain and respect for the environment.

It is part of company growth and he too, like the whole population, must be aware of the urgent and no longer deferable need to direct consumption and the way of life in a new direction.

It cannot fail to be part of the necessary process of change, required of each of us and must adapt its mindset and working spirit to the challenges that the modern world has put us in front of, even though they are not easy to solve.

Universal Sustainability Module

The construction, therefore, becomes Universal Sustainability Module. Architects are the protagonists of this great change, through small choices in order to pursue sustainable development, together with all the other specialized figures who, within their field of competence, can help guide change in the most sustainable and desirable direction for society, as anthropologists, sociologists, researchers.

This result is to be found in every professional field, in the life and career of every human being first and then a professional.

The natural consequence is that, returning to the architectural sphere, this spirit must be inserted into the daily working life both of the little professional who works on his own, both at the large professional studio, completely eliminating the search for major works and actions if useless or not very sustainable and instead providing incentives small targeted and controlled interventions, always bearing in mind that the construction and rehabilitation works are works of responsibility and cultural knowledge. The philosophical and spiritual conception is therefore no longer a side element, but a fundamental guideline. The blind pursuit of profit without considering the consequences is something that humanity cannot afford and it is necessary that the entire population, from the most to the least well-off, become aware of this essential awareness.

What does the reference to DNA express?

So, taking up the fundamental concept of DNA, the construction of buildings, furnishings and more generally the work of the architect, have undergone and can still undergo a considerable transformation, handling over the time. A regeneration to give new life again, to satisfy new needs and give youth back to those same construction objects.

The architect then becomes a geneticist, which through technology and its expertise, can manipulate and transform the urban and domestic context in harmony with the needs of the environment and according to sustainable development, for everyone and not just for the privileged few.

All this will not be able to live except through an address of qualitycommon denominator of this evolution.

And this research will take place after the discussions on theoretical methods, in three exemplary laboratories, on the awareness and research that companies and scholars have developed.

Finally, a final debate on the topic will be held in a final workshop.

The laboratories are structured as follows:

MODULES 1

DESIGN: the handcrafted object is confronted with natural materials. Serial design confronts sustainability

MODULES 2

NATURE: meets society and dictates the new biological rhythms necessary for a new technological orientation

MODULES 3

ARCHITECTURE: the architectural recovery and reuse of marginal spaces and places is the new frontier of architecture

SYNTHESIS: round table on new experiments and new cultural directions born from the synergies between research and culture (TED model)

FINAL WORKSHOP

In final laboratory by Arkeda 2022 some ideas are proposed to generate debates, contributions and interventions, to be collected in a handout to be published before the Event and distributed as an insert in Arkeda magazine:

1) Nature understood no longer as a superstructure but as an element of reference for the work of architects

2) The importance of small size and detail in the architect's work

3) The work of the individual moves the conscience of society

4) Architecture, design but also art to be current no longer have separations, subjections or boundaries, and converge with sociology, technology and all the other sciences in a Global Humanism necessary for the protection and development of Society

5) The essence and Philosophy of the Architect's work is an indispensable tool for the Evolved Society, and therefore it must be developed and updated continuously, in a difficult and demanding continuous professional training

6) Time no longer has a linear development, but can be manipulated, as in genetics

7) Quality as the common denominator of any development
