3 WHAT IS PLEA 2015 Which are the challenges affecting the communities? Plea2015 is Architecture in (R)evolution PLEA2015 CHALLENGES DIAGRAM Plea 2015 represents a great opportunity to look beyond green architecture, having a much bigger environmental picture. Architecture and urban planning need to become again practical tools for building sustainable and resilient lives (more than green buildings), in harmony with the ecosystem and local resources. To do that, we need to turn the approach on sustainable architecture upside down, starting from the analysis of people needs and socioeconomic trends. Society, Environment, Economy are now in (R)evolution. It is time for a new Architectural Paradigm, giving to architecture its proper dignity and responsibility to be part of the (R)evolution, through the qualitative and aesthetic contribution of Academicians, Researchers, R&D members of industrial companies or professional offices, Practitioners, Startuppers or Postgraduate Students. The result will be a collection of beautiful and creative (R)solutions to future challenges, becoming expression of the diversity of needs, culture, climate, landscape and economies. economy Energy and water expenditures Housing affordability society Aging population Access to water, improved sanitation facilities, energy inequalities Changes in lifestyles and people needs Access to network and education inequalities Changes in household configuration (income, size, cultural and gender composition...)

LUCIA Palazzo Re Enzo Palazzo Re Enzo is one of Bologna s most prestigious venue located in the heart of the medieval city centre. With its sqm of usable space, it combines the fascination of a beautiful monument with state-of-the-art amenities. It was built between The palace was also known as new palace to differentiate it from Palazzo del Podestà. Just three years later the palace became the residence of the King taken prisoner in the battle of Fossalta: Re Enzo from Sardinia, son of Federico II. The king would spend here the next 23 years, until his death in 1272 (several legends were reported around his mytical figure).

12 Plea2015 is under the patronage of Plea 2015 is organized by and supported by Mario Cucinella founded Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA) in Paris in The studio is now operating in Bologna (Italy) with an international team of more than 40 architects, engineers and designers. MCA is a company with a solid experience at the forefront of contemporary design and research with an integrated approach to design work based on close collaboration with multi-disciplinary consultants to create an innovative and appropriate design response for every project and clients requirements. MCA delivers outstanding quality integrated design response at every stage and level. The care and professionalism concerns every step of design process, from architectural design up to landscape design, sustainability, interior design, lighting design, project management, artistic direction. MCA develops projects at different scales, from building design to product design, from environmental and technological research to large-scale urban projects. Sustainable building design and the rational use of energy is one of the central concerns in MCA s work and research. The environmental quality of designs is analyzed and developed using specialized software and model testing in order to produce buildings of architectural quality with state of the art energy performance. MCA s response to the environment includes the collection of data on the socio-economic contexts and vernacular architecture along with the analysis of local climate and eco-systems. Working in close partnership with local design firms, MCA always encourages the adoption of a design language capable of expressing the beauty and the richness of local cultures. This approach opposes the internationalization of building processes with indifference to sites, culture and energy requirements. Mario Cucinella Architects is progressively expanding its international outreach: the studio has designed projects in Europe, China, Western Africa, the Middle East, Australia. In each place, MCA strives to express, not its own architectural style, but rather the identity of places, people, materials and environments. MCA s work, like its team, is multi-lingual, speaking as many languages as the places and the people its designs and buildings are supposed to serve. MISSION Building Green Futures (BGF) is a non-profit organization founded by Mario Cucinella in 2012 that promotes sustainable development through green architecture and urban regeneration. We create built environments that incorporate clean technologies and local knowledge for better living conditions and sustainable access to natural resources. Our activities 1) Design & Build projects in support of development programmes and humanitarian interventions. We believe that buildings are solutions (rather than obstacles) for sustainable access to energy and natural resources and act as a catalyst for urban regeneration by promoting sustainable construction practices. We need to design buildings where shape and performance are profoundly linked with local climate and culture. 2) Knowledge Transfer and information campaigns on the benefits of green architecture and urban planning. We believe that knowledge transfer is a two-way street where BGF s capacity building and training initiatives create space for technological progress and local cultures to communicate. We need to raise the awareness and organize information campaigns on the benefits of green architecture and urban planning. 3) Applied Research for social and technical innovation on sustainable design. It is time for a new Ecological Era through the evolution of traditional construction techniques, rethinking the relationship between architects, community, construction workers and industrial production. We need to investigate the link between technological progress in the production of artefacts and social change, using emerging technologies to open new scenarios in the way we design and construct buildings.
