'Texture is man's best friend.' Words by Kengo Kuma.    The film-manifesto 'Softness' (2021, sub. Cristiana Colli, dir. Francesca Molteni, (https://lnkd.in/dJv3Gtm4) gives voice to important architects, artists, philosophers. They are all important protagonists united by the need to create spaces, buildings, structures in which Man can feel at ease, in as optimal a relationship with Nature as possible. It is within this context that Kengo Kuma (KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES) defines Texture as 'Humanity's best friend,' juxtaposing it with Form, with which Humanity, in his opinion, has a less intimate relationship. The definition of the famous Japanese architect questions the five senses that humans use to interface with the surrounding environment. Man's well-being greatly depends on the satisfaction of all his senses when he is immersed in nature and in his own creations, the latter made with materials that he himself has identified and selected among the immense offering of Nature since the dawn of time. Acquired gradually, technology then allowed to transform them from natural finds into something durable and beautiful.  #imesh #kengokuma #softarchitecture #architecturalexcellence #imeshinnovation

☕ 📖 Walking break at #MILANO ADI Design Museum for a espresso and a new book: FUTURES BY DESIGN Progettare innovazione nella complessità by Tommaso Corà, MBA Lucilla Fazio Filippo Collura with foreword by Eric Quint and epilogue by Angèle Beausoleil Allow me to share the following insight by Eric: "Le sfide dell'innovazione si stanno spostando dalla conversione tecnologica alla rilevanza socioculturale in futuri sostenibili orientati da uno scopo che va oltre la soddisfazione a breve termine delle esigenze dei clienti e il valore generato per gli azionisti. [...] dovranno essere orientati all'identificazione di un valore sostenibili futuro..." “Innovation challenges are shifting from technological conversion to sociocultural relevance in purpose-driven sustainable futures that go beyond short-term satisfaction of customer needs and value generated for shareholders. […] will need to be oriented to the identification of a future sustainable value..." let's start! #design #future #innovation

Italy produced some of the world’s most innovative and exciting Brutalist architecture, which is featured in a new book entiteld Brutalism in Italy: Concrete Architecture from the Alps to the Mediterranean Sea, with magnificent photographs by Roberto Conte and Stefano Perego (published by FUEL). Italian Brutalism — ranging from private homes to churches, cemeteries, and stadiums―across every region of the country is fully documented, demonstrating the pluralist approache to concrete architecture in Italy during the 70s. We learn that it was a way for architects to distance themselves from fascism, without rejecting the architectural modernism that had flourished during that era.
