Architecture has a new responsibility.
The energy used to build and maintain our homes and buildings is a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, which are responsible for climate change.

What sustainable architecture means to us
Eco-architecture, bio-architecture, eco-bio-architecture: among all these labels that often create some confusion, we have chosen to refer to sustainable.
The most inhabited spaces
During the lockdown we launched an initiative.
The idea was born from a fairly spontaneous game, that is, capturing everyday moments with our cell phones when we find ourselves using the house in ways we never imagined (in this, children are inexhaustible ideas). But the reflections went even further: which aspects of our apartment are helping us meet all the needs that are emerging, and which instead represent limitations? And what limits can we reinterpret by translating them into virtues?
From the photos received, many reflections and a kaleidoscope emerged on the most "inhabited" spaces during this difficult period.

Inhabiting our homes
Over the last century, attempts have been made to address a functional need in housing construction, which has led to the creation of identical and identical homes in every part of the world, forgetting that the home is a manifestation of the soul of individuals and a response to their most intimate needs. We should go back to “feeling” better how we are, how we would like to inhabit our homes.
