IUAV summer workshop – from 13rd june to 8th july 2011
Design and Arts Faculty – Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia – IUAV.
A multidisciplinary workshop by Cibicworkshop, Aldo Cibic e Tommaso Corà.
In recent years we have developed new project ideas trying to identify new needs in a deeply changing social and economic environment.
The Rethinking Happiness project, presented at the Biennale of Architecture in Venice, is the result of a research on a design model that addresses critical issues and opportunities of the world today.
These reflections are part of a common setting from the quality of the places in landscape to relationships between people, through a multidisciplinary approach that can make these ideas feasible. The design theme of this workshop will be to develop a settlement built at a farm.
This theme aims to show that building a community having the goal of a high level of sharing and higher energy and food self-sufficiency is possible.
The results of the workshop will be debated in a series of meetings on the theme of landscape and community that will be held at the Festival “Comodamente”, in Vittorio Veneto, from 2nd to 4th of September 2011.
