In the latest issue of Interni, Antonella Boisi and Patrizia Catalano have collected the testimonies of numerous architects who tell, through a choice of projects, the different ways in which they have solved challenges related to the theme of materials and sustainability.
The dossier, which we will publish in installments on internimagazine.it, offers a broader view, albeit necessarily fragmented, on a constantly evolving landscape. A world, that of architecture, in which innovation often does not necessarily mean novelty in an absolute sense, but the ability to make the most of traditional solutions or solutions from other worlds in alternative ways. On internimagazine.it we have already published a taste of this enormous research work, dedicated to concrete.
Read here: experimental concrete in architecture.
The other chapters (there will be six in all) will alternate in the coming weeks on our site. But here's a preview of what we will talk about.
Metals and marbles
Aluminum, a usable material already recycled and in turn recyclable, is increasingly appreciated by architects. Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati talked about its use explaining his project for the Tirana stadium, Nicola De Pellegrini and Giovanni Bez of Anidride Design Architettura, taking as an example the headquarters of Blackfin Taibon Agordino in the province of Belluno, and Massimo Alvisi / Alvisi Kirimoto for the new Academy of Music in Camerino (MC). The recyclable and durable zinc-titanium alloy is instead the protagonist of the project for the Davines headquarters in Parma, told through the words of Matteo Thun & Partners. Paolo Asti / Asti Architetti will speak about an innovative use of marble, with a very thin thickness, in reference to his intervention on the historic building which, in Milan, houses the first Starbucks coffee shop.
