A conference part of the “Integrale Landschaft” lecture series: Aldo Cibic presents the Rethinking Happiness project.
“We face a future in many cases full of uncertainties; at the same time, however, we are aware of the
many problems in front of us: the list is long, but only to mention some we must tackle integration,
personal safety, food safety, energy safety and sources, economy, waste safety, resources safety,
suburb degrade and so on…..
To fight our fears we need finding the way to proceed with a sort of sensible, creative and interesting
planning that could produce ideas, proposals and answers able to guarantee an upgrading of
life quality, for us as well as for our children and the people around us.
It is an idea of Happiness that we build by rolling up our sleeves, and which is generated by different
people all sharing the intent of living together to create new communities. This idea translates
into four new places, each narrated trough four hyperrealistic models, pictures and drawings.”
In 2010 Aldo Cibic was invited to exhibit the project at the 12th international architecture exhibition at the Venice Biennale “People meet in architecture” directed by Kazuyo Sejima.
