Rubner Group and Luca Molinari Studio to live-stream a cycle of meetings with architects
Architects Tales is the name of the new project of the Rubner Group aimed at keeping alive the relationship with architecture. This series of online conversations with internationally renowned architects and designers, curated by Luca Molinari Studio, will explore topical issues in contemporary architecture and urbanism.
Building with wood to reduce CO2 emissions
“We firmly believe that it is fundamental to give further impulse to sustainability, trying to make society aware of it – underlines Peter Rubner, President of the Rubner Group. Building with wood, for example, reduces the CO2 emissions of buildings. Every wooden building, or even a product, is a natural CO2 storage tank: 1 cubic meter of wood captures about 1 ton of CO2. An extraordinary figure if you think that an average-sized car emits about 3.2 tons of CO2 in a year.”
Live-stream meetings will range from sustainability to building quality up to architecture as a central space for social interaction. From time to time, the different topics will be explored from a different perspective in order to reflect and tackle with greater awareness the challenges that design and architecture are going to face in the future. Among the main themes will be natural architecture, ecosystem, innovation, as well as quality, from design to construction, with research and sustainability embodied in the works of the invited architects as examples of best practices. Among others, the cycle will host Lina Ghotmeh (France), Laboratorio Permanente (Italy), Stefano Belingardi (Italy), Dietrich/Untertrifaller Architekten (Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany), LAN (France), Cino Zucchi (Italy), Michele De Lucchi (Italy).

“INNOVATION”
Luca Molinari with Much Untertrifaller
“Innovation” plays an important role in the daily practice of every firm, as it is a challenge that constantly pushes beyond the quality of architectural and industrial production.November 18th, 2021 h. 18:00-19:00
“ECOSYSTEM”
