Presentation of "The roof - a photovoltaic sensorial garden”

The hanging garden, from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Gulf of Taranto, stretches out over a total area of 200 sqm, of which 130mt are used for green area, the remaining 70mt for flooring and footpath platform. The silica polycrystalline panels are installed on 3 meters- high metal structures. The vital space comes to life underneath, an animated and multifunctional area, pivot of the idea of transforming an attic in a captivating and faceted spot were sensoriality is exalted.

There are many forms of artificial light in our daily life.
Our task is to study them and apply them to the architectural projects of light.
We often witness an extreme progress of technology, more and more directed towards a solid state of its essence: Led, O-led and many more of these, are our daily bread. So it happens that new technology holds the expectations of the manufacturing companies, but most of all, of the designing technicians and lighting designers.
Within the scope of the event dedicated to the presentation of the notice in its own premises in Taranto, Kino Workshop invited some brilliant minds of the international panorama, on visual perception to better understand such issues in an open debate with the participating guests.

21, the next photovoltaic street-lamp

A competition launched by Kino Workshop to stimulate connections in the university world, research bodies and enterprises. A somehow lacking relation, which causes a sort of division between the designing world, research institutes and the real needs of the market. All this brought to launch a competition of ideas, with the purpose of making it an occasion of studying and developing a prototype. The object of this competition is the photovoltaic lamp, an apparently simple object, having inside some important features, such as: technological innovation, energy saving, smart use of the resources, innovative design and the participation of the designer to the engineering process.

"At the borderlines - sustainable architecture in the South-"’s Event

The entrance to the city of the future, the nearby suburbs, collects a bunch of the next buildings to come. Two men pass by: “ The architecture is dead”. In an unchangeable structure, whose horizon still smells of monoxide, a urban ecosystem , which is already the last one in Italy, Taranto’s, engages in collecting personality and ideas: architecture and environment, a borderline speech.

“At the borderlines - sustainable architecture in the South” was born to awaken , create contacts, build a new awareness for a territory that, like it was during the 1970’s, finds itself among square meters, economized works, sales, cheating and profits. A centre of information and debate, positively touched by professionals of Europe and of the Mediterranean area for eco-sustainability and contemporary features of the urban area, high rendering plants and new never-ending energy.

Shipwrecks & Landings

"Of course we talk about the sea. But also about the sense of belonging to our land, anxieties and torments, dreams and ambitions that all we have.

Speaking of the sea means touching the strings of a flight into the unknown, discovering new worlds and new languages​​.

Going by sea, but where? Conrad comes to help us in 'The Shadow Line' with the desire and the search of going beyond known places, towards the unknow, and in 'Moby Dick' the research go through the daily fight up the physical and mental self-destruction. ....."

From the introduction of the "Shipwrecks & Landings" exhibition by Rosalba Bran, director of the Pino Pascali Museum of Contemporary Art, Polignano a Mare (BA).
