Step by step, we are all looking for a gradual return to "normal" after the acute pandemic phase; however, it is now common awareness that there will be many changes in the way of life, of working and also in the architectural criteria. The investments will focus on digital infrastructures, new spaces and services for the school system and there will also be innovations in the way of designing and building houses.
The wind of change is now blowing strongly and there are many essential innovations that will be implemented after the advent of the Coronavirus. It starts with greater social responsibility, participation, urban forestation, climate architecture, reuse of single-function structures, redefinition of the concepts of smart cities and reconnection of internal areas, new ideas for tomorrow's schools (also counting digital platforms), attention to house with multipurpose spaces) and themes related to mobility.
GBC Italia has listed its key themes: circular economy, water efficiency, land use and biodiversity, resilience, well-being and healthiness, justice in transition. Low climate impact buildings are being studied as they are responsible for 36% of all emissions, 40% of energy, 50% of extraction of raw materials in the EU, 21% of water consumption.
Furthermore, an urban rethinking of cities is underway, framing three fundamental aspects: mobility, to be based exclusively on renewable sources; forestation, to be carried out throughout the national territory, starting from metropolitan areas; the energy transition, which must include a network of local businesses for the production of clean energy.
These are the three themes highlighted by the architect Stefano Boeri, who recalls the need to immediately activate as many large public investments in construction, which will also help to restart the country's economy: monitoring and restoring all the infrastructures supporting the mobility.
The architect Cino Zucchi talked about designing and constructing buildings and urban spaces that survive there. It is necessary to design urban and domestic spaces very well defined in their fundamental characters but also capable of hosting different functions and roles over time. There is talk of architecture and cities with a great "inertia".
In recent weeks, the text of Pope Francis' Encyclical on the care of the common home and integral ecology has also remained impressed. Monsignor Giuseppe Russo explained how much, for many individuals, the compulsion in their own home proved to be a condemnation. In this sense, he spoke of designing decent living spaces, even if in popular housing. A theme also underlined by the Bolognese architect Mario Cucinella, expert in post-earthquake reconstruction.
Regina De Albertis, technical director Borio Mangiarotti and President of Ance Giovani listed the priorities on which to pay attention: "Modern, sustainable and future-oriented infrastructures, redevelopment of existing ones, regeneration of our cities, schools, health, protection of the territory".
In essence, industry experts begin to have visions increasingly oriented towards a sustainable future, moving from the construction of homes and work environments, to projects for entire cities, so as to be able to guarantee a better quality of life in the future.
