time ago, in an interview, the architect Mario Cucinella said that in Italy it comes to home and new ideas for living only when there is an emergency, and unfortunately totally right. The company is evolving at an ever faster and a debate on new housing needs is lacking, not only in Italy. The problem is that large companies do a lot today to reduce consumption, wastage and pollution, to create a more eco-friendly production, while the lion's share of environmental pollution problems resulting from their households to which few are doing something really useful.
Among the many architects who, instead of riding the mode, they prefer to analyze problems and propose solutions in this series is rational and Mario Cucinella ( http://www.mcarchitectsgate.it ) that from his studio in Bologna designed buildings around the world (one of his last works is just the new home of the City of his city, an interesting example of eco-sustainable public building in Italy). Always engaged in the search for new materials and technologies per la qualità della vita e il comfort abitativo, ha da poco intrapreso una sfida molto coraggiosa: creare la casa eco-compatibile a basso costo, in altre parole la CASA 100k ( http://www.casa100k.com ).
L'idea è semplice: è possibile creare un edificio abitativo in linea con le ultimissime tecnologie sul risparmio energetico a 1000 euro il mq (cioè 100.000 euro per 1oo mq) che sia anche confortevole?
Cucinella, a differenza di molti, non ha solo esposto le sue idee per una idea abitativa nuova, la sta anche realizzando a Settimo Torinese dove il Comune ha scommesso sulla sperimentazione delle nuove tecnologie in 50 alloggi di prossima realizzazione.
This is not only to launch new ideas but sperimetarne the results, and Cucinotta, who has always based its work on prior research of problems and solutions (and not the repetition of old patterns obsolete as they do some), has given his own imprint to a need that today seems ever more pressing: the goal of zero emissions. The houses are designed in fact self-sufficient energy (solar, photovoltaic and wind, and geothermal technologies associated with recycling of residual energy have made a dream a reality already in testing phase).
no coincidence that the Wired magazine ( http://www.wired.it ), in its Italian, devoted entirely to cover this architect. In the style of this month, just finally in Italy, there is in fact the focus on new technologies that really improve your life and give meaning to the word progress (everything is just skimming fashion) by giving voice to people who do something more concrete than talking only: experiment.
