Architects meet in Fuoribiennale_OFF
6-6-14 one day talk+party
Palazzo Widmann Calle Widmann, 30121 Cannaregio, Venice
During the opening days of XIV Biennale di Architettura, in Venice the event ai???Architects meet in Fuoribiennale_OFFai??? proposes a reflection on the Architecture of the next 5 years, trying to answer to the following questions:
Good architecture needs to rediscover fundamentals or, instead, it should look for his radical vocation which is always outside the traced boundaries?
Is it possible to build a mosaic, even if contradictory but surely vital, that describes some possible routes for the next future?
6th June 2014 (from 10.30am to 9pm): in Venice, at Palazzo Widmann, the event will consist of three parts

Main sponsor of Architects meet in Fuori Biennale_OFF is Oikos, 30 years of colour and matter for sustainable architecture and expression of creative design that transforms spaces with products with a minimal environmental impact. This is all thanks to a manufacturing process that respects the highest ecological standards in order to guarantee the health and well being of those who live and work in these spaces. It is also the result of continual research into unique aesthetic solutions, maintaining the great Italian decorative tradition with a new outlook in order to be able to reinterpret surfaces. Research that makes the meeting and communicating with architects fundamental: for each specific moment, Oikos together with these architects and designers, studies, re-elaborates, transforms and moulds its materials to offer solutions to wide ranging requirements. In this way, surfaces, from a simple decorative element, become an integral part of the architectural project. In this synergy with architects, Oikos trasforms an industrial product into an artisanal material, elaborated and made to measure for each situation. It is the textures, the chromatic variations, the continually changing applications, the relationship between the surfaces and light that lead to the creation of a new matter. A sustainable material that respects nature and human beings, that suggests and evokes emotion, that offers solutions and exhalts surface design. It is a common and shared work process in which each time a new design prospective is developed to together imagine new solutions and new sustainable materials.
