TEDxArkitects en Barcelona

August 6, 2009

What is TEDx? Take a sneak peek. Watch the video!

arkinet is organizing TEDxArkitects in Barcelona!!

Wednesday | November 18, 2009 | Elisava, BCN | 6-9.30 pm

In the same way that arkinet’s goal is to share architecture and connect architects, the purpose of TEDxArkitects is to bring the architecture community together in our own city to share powerful ideas and experiences that can bring a positive change to the world.

The Theme

Building Ideas for a Better World

Beyond the bounds of glossy design and the architectural star system, there exists an ambitious and socially-driven movement led by hundreds of architects and designers who are paving the way towards a more equitable, brighter and greener future for all.

With each passing moment, the growing urgency of issues like climate change and poverty demands solutions that rise to the challenge. The architecture of excess we have witnessed in the past decades is fastly becoming the architecture of conscience. It is no longer a choice; it is a matter of survival. Architects everywhere are working to build a better future, right now.

What does sustainability in architecture mean? What solutions can architecture offer, and who else besides architects should be involved in the process? Our invited speakers explore these questions with approaches that range from high-tech biomimicry, to recycling, to social intervention, each revealing a particular angle from which to address the act of building and its responsibility towards the preservation of our planet and those living on it.

We will be posting more info as details of the program unfold.

    Saludos.
    Ante todo felicitarlos por generar un espacio que permitirá gestar proyectos con más y mejores soluciones frente a la actual problemática ambiental ya que no solo nos permitirá identificar características propias de una arquitectura sustentable, sino también su adaptabilidad climática que ha evolucionado en el tiempo junto a impactos como su transculturación en la que a logrando fusionarse adquiriendo una identidad propia que la destacan dentro de su género, características que ahora gracias a esta oportunidad se volverán mucho más evidentes. Generando un conjuto de expectativas para la investigación y desarrollo de futuras soluciones de adaptabilidad.
