The projects of young Ukrainian architects for the rebuilding of their country’s public areas will be exhibited from April 5th to April 17th in Rome at Casa dell’Architettura.
The first step of “Design for Peace”, the project realised by the National Council of Architects PPC (CNAPPC) and the Order of Architects PPC of Rome and province, supported by the Department for the Youth Politics and the Universal Civil Service of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, with the patronage and technical support of the Ukrainian Embassy in Italy, has come to an end.
The projects of young Ukrainian architects (under 35) for the rebuilding of their country’s public areas destroyed by the war will be exhibited from April 5th to April 17th in Rome at Casa dell’Architettura (Complesso monumentale dell’Acquario Romano Piazza Manfredo Fanti, 47).
The exhibition “Design for Peace. The Ukrainian architects’ projects” will be introduced by the Conference “Peace Builders: perspectives of professional collaboration”.
A year ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, a free and sovereign state, and started a terrible war, made up of deaths, destruction, deportations, crimes against humanity perpetrated against the civilians. All our unqualified solidarity and sympathy goes to the Ukrainian people.
The National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservationists (CNAPPC) expresses its firmest condemnation against this wicked war that has broken out in the heart of Europe and which will not succeed in bending the spirit and resistance of that people or in undermining those values of freedom and democracy which have guaranteed more than seventy years of peace in the Old Continent.
Meanwhile, in order to promote peace initiatives , the workshops built by the “Design for Peace” project and dedicated to the reconstruction of symbolic areas devastated by the war, are going on and are the following:
The two videos, “Fabrizio Carola”, produced by the CNAPPC with Teche Rai and dedicated to the architect who pioneered architecture of cooperation, and “Architectural Inventions in international cooperation – Images of inventions”, produced by the OAR, in collaboration with the IL VALORE DELLE IDEE (The Value of Ideas) association, will animate the Round Table “The contribution of architects in crisis areas and the presentation of the guidelines for providing hospitality in professional studios and offices for Ukrainian architects and architectural students” (19 May, 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Pavilion 8, Fiera di Roma). Organized by the National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscape architects and Conservationists (CNAPPC) and the Order of PPC Architects of Rome and its province (OAR) in the context of Codeway, an international event dedicated to cooperation and development, the Round Table is intended to go into greater depth regarding the role of planning in the humanitarian sector, with an examination of the post-war reconstruction and preservation of the historic legacy and infrastructure of Ukraine, deeply scarred by the military conflict.
The National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscape architects and Conservationists (CNAPPC) and the Order of PPC Architects of Rome and its province (OAR) will be present at Codeway, an international event dedicated to cooperation and development scheduled for May 18-20 at the Fiera di Roma, testifying to the commitment of those professionals who bring the benefits of architecture where they are most needed, promoting a culture of the universal right to a decent home.
They will do this by installing an edition of the traveling exhibit “Moral space” (Pavilion 8), https://www.architettiecooperazione.org/mostra-itinerante/ organized by the CNAPPC in collaboration with AICS, whose 37 panels illustrate the civil commitment of Italian architects in emergencies and critical situations.
The humanitarian crisis provoked by the war in Ukraine will be the focus of the initiatives promoted by the National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscape architects and Conservationists (CNAPPC) at Codeway, an international event dedicated to cooperation and development scheduled for May 18-20 at the Fiera di Roma.
On this occasion, in fact, the “Guidelines for providing hospitality for Ukrainian architects and architecture students in Italy” will be launched. These consist of a series of concrete indications, in the context of the current operational framework, that the CNAPPC has developed to support the provincial Orders and the architectural community in any “hospitality” initiatives they may undertake in their studios and offices involving Ukrainian architects and architectural students forced to flee their country due to the war.
