Arcoplan Associates is launching the next event of WA Platform (‘Waste Architecture Platform’): the International Workshop on Waste Architecture / Waste Management in Landscape and Urban Areas. The workshop is conceived as a parallel event of Sardinia 2019, 17th International Waste Management and landfill Symposium, to be held from 30th September to 4th October 2019 with an extimated attendance of 800 delegates from tens of different countries worldwide.

The Workshop consolidates for this third edition a stimulating partnership making the Sardinia Symposium the ideal context in which to discuss Architecture and Waste in an international setting amongst not only environmental experts, but also architects, landscape architects, and urban planners.

Waste Architecture is a new and relatively unexplored conceptual and design topic which promises to give rise to a lively debate between environmental professionals, architecture and urban design experts.

Strucutre and preliminary programme

The Workshop will be held at Forte Village Resort on 1-2 October 2019.
The first day will be devoted to the presentation of oral contributions organised in thematic sessions lasting 90 minutes, followed by opportunities for discussion and debate.
On the second day a practical landscape design lab session will be coordinated by professionals in the field. The workshop will comprise an introductory lesson held by University academics aimed at providing participants with the required basic skills to address the subsequent planning and design topic.

Participants will therefore have the opportunity to apply the theoretical notions learnt during the introductory lesson to an actual case study promoted by a company, and to exchange views and opinions with colleagues and experts as part of a working team.

‘Waste Architecture Platform’ is a complex project conceived as container of initiatives devoted to environmental architecture in connection with interventions concerning the collection, disposal and management of waste.

Which future traffic model are we striving for?

To be able to display the appropriate e-mode of transport for the fastest, safest, or most eco-friendly way on your phone sounds like a utopia? It is the case at the moment. However, researchers and entrepreneurs are developing visions for a “smart city” that links the city via innovative mobility networks. The world of mobility is constantly inventing new technologies, such as autonomous driving, electromobility, or even new air transport systems. So how will we be moving in cities in 30 or 50 years?

Mobility concepts for the future

The change in usage patterns with regard to digitalisation and increasing flexibility raises many questions:

Is the sharing economy of different modes of transport growing? Are we travelling more individually and more often in future? And do environmentally friendly transport modes such as bicycles and public transport become even more important? What is the influence of increasingly fluctuating traffic systems on the design and structure of the city?

Workshop in Berlin

These and other questions are discussed in „Bundesinstitut für Bau-, Stadt- und Raumforschung“ in Berlin, which is the federal institute for urban research. Participate at the workshop with the topic „Smart City – future traffic models of tomorrow“ on the 5th of April 2017, in Berlin.
