This is a paid and reservation-only event.
Il Manifesto dell’”Abitare nella natura” (The Manifesto of “Living in Nature”)
Conference
With The Manifesto dell’Abitare, a sustainability project related to living and design
The word “Ambiente” (environment) derives from the Latin “ambiens,” meaning “going around.” Everyone is involved in planning various forms of living. What comes before, during, and after these activities? What clues can we read in the world around us? How can we simplify the means and enrich the ends? This meeting answers these questions, starting with the soil and plants, the true engines of life on our planet, and understanding their benefits. Thus, changing the approach to architecture to promote a better quality of living, returning to be guided by nature’s principles.
Rintocchi (chimes)
Handpan performance
With Marco Selvaggio, musician
Mystic and ancestral melody, vibrant and intimate notes. A suspended moment to contemplate the cyclicality of time, earth, and sound. The handpan, both a new and ancient instrument, invites one to take a moment to meditate and listen. To sit on the ground and be guided by its chimes.
For Teenagers / Ages 14 to 19
