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 the 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 is possible to build a community having the goal of a high level of sharing and an higher energy and food self-sufficiency.
