    INGLASS & LAUD ediția 2016, București
    Gânduri care rămân
    De această dată conferințele ne-au adus parcă mai mult decât până acum certitudinea că lumea se schimbă. Transformarea se face foarte mult prin arhitectură și toate practicile construirii. Cuvintele cheie care rămân sunt ”re-use” și ”transformative capacity”, punctând accentul pe a folosi altfel ceea ce există. Arhitectura și peisagistica se contopesc tot mai mult în proiecte și cred că în viitor va fi tot mai greu să le discutăm separat. Mai mulți dintre vorbitorii invitați ne-au oferit concluziile experiențelor lor. Peisagistul Nick Roozen recunoaște că ”verdele” nu este o soluție pentru orice, dar tot el ne atrage atenția că nu mai există soluții care să nu facă apel la ”verde”. Parcurile creează noile identități ale orașelor orientale în dezvoltare accelerată. Ele dau valoare terenurilor care urmează a fi construite. Criza de spațiu din anumite zone intens dezvoltate conduce inevitabil spre nevoia de oraș compact. Acesta nu poate fi altfel decât mult mai inteligent pentru a putea face față aglomerării, diversității și simultaneității, așa cum ne-a arătat Tetsuo Harada de la Takenaka. Locurile de muncă sunt din ce în ce mai orientate către cei care le folosesc, pentru a le oferi stările de care aceștia au nevoie. Categoria de construcții pe care le numeam industriale, îndepărtându-le de ceea ce considerăm arhitectură, se arată a fi de tot mai multe ori mai profunde arhitectural decât multe dintre clădirile care atrag de obicei interesul. Jesus Alberto Pulido ne-a uimit cu ceea ce poate să fie o fabrică gândită pentru oamenii care lucrează acolo. O altă lecție uimitoare prin simplitate și bucuria pe care o produce este cea a designului urban rezilient pentru a primi surplusul de apă datorat averselor la care sistemele de canalizare existente nu pot face față. Oglinzi de apă în bazine temporare frumos desenate în spațiul public preiau în Olanda aceste ape și le păstrează câteva zile, sau pe durata sezonului rece. Fosta zonă minieră din Polonia, Silezia, oferă prilejuri arhitecților din grupul Medusa să transforme castelele de apă în spații folosite, cu mare vitalitate. Am lăsat la finalul acestor gânduri în rezumat amintirea a două proiecte de pe continente diferite, cu destinații diferite care avea ceva în comun: curcubeul. Unul dintre ele l-a descoperit instalat deasupra acoperișului verde și a amenajării acvatice, celălalt l-a proiectat pur și simplu și l-a produs, pentru bucuria oamenilor care folosesc construcția

    Green is not the only solution, but there is no solution without green. The future Green City is being built today. An important aspect of our designs in the past 15 years that has appealed to clients and governments around the world is the application of the Green City theory in the designs.

    The communication at LAUD lectures was very interesting and I have seen many people that had experience. I held a master class about post-industrial landscape architecture, it was very relaxed. I had a good time. The presentations were very good and they had a lot of information.

    LAUD is very well organized and there are interesting speakers. About the audience, the first funny thing is I don’t know anybody, and usually, if I go to a conference in England, I know a lot of the people there. It is a very interesting experience to meet new people and share ideas.

    LAUD is a very good idea, it helps to grow culture between local practitioners because you can mirror with other people. I was positively surprised with all the projects presented from Eastern Europe I did not know about, also about the plans of the municipality in Bucharest – it looks positive to me. These examples show that it’s a growing culture.

    The project I presented drew the attention because of the amazing mission. What was amazing was that politicians decided to spend money to undo things, not build more, but to go backwards. And this is new for the discipline. Normally, most of the projects are about building new things or rebuilding. Here, we could really erase things that had been done. What caused the attention of so many people was the mission and the way we did it – we were very respectful in adding very few things.

    We found a very kind athmosphere at LAUD, and for us, these kinds of meetings are very interesting because they help us better the architecture of this part of understand Europe. It was great because it was so intense and we were impressed. So many interesting projects, so many great architects, it was a great conference.

    One can change the faith of cultural heritage (which does not have an easy destiny in Romania) by starting small but being persistent and consistent, and always taking into account people before buildings, site, or natural landscape. Changing peoples’ hearts might, as well, change a bit the communities we live in and protect their cultural heritage.

    Our work try’s to bring the environment close to the people , to deny the often cynical approach of our days, that even if it is modern and fashionable sometimes tends to separate man from nature. We do not need strict boundaries between man and nature.

    The place, an “extra muros” place has its history of being a buffer zone for the town. A town that tried to be developed here as a resort, as a residentcial with villas and so one. The private ownership of the land was changed when it was donated to the town in order not to be built upon and to be developed here as a park. Things changed again and the place was endowed in the communist era with a pavilion that became a museum, with a commemorative monument, with facilities for a stadium built upon a older one. So, the area was very layered with many interventions which were neither taken to completion.

    I find important that this conference highlights the exceptions and things that can be inspiring, models to follow. The world does not know them, does not see them and this justifies the public’s appetite for this conference. A great benefit is also its educational role.

    LAUD conference was announced as being highly attractive in the field of landscape architecture and, through the presence of some outstanding speakers, has confirmed this appeal through the interest shown by the public and a full day of lectures and presentations, to which questions and interactions with participants were added. The field of landscape architecture at the top was covered with examples of international practice excellence. If we consider our situation, where the need for a higher quality of the communities in which we live, of green spaces and public spaces in general, well-designed and accessible is growing, we can say that LAUD came at the right time, drawing attention to the performances reached by others in the field, amid an uninterested attitude from the part of the authorities at different levels for this area. The natural and anthropic landscape must be considered as the fundamental infrastructure of the fabric of life, the continuing support of architecture and heritage essential to communities – this is the message that we are sending through LAUD to all those responsible of our state.

    I haven’t seen Bucharest until now. The communication of these lectures were very interesting and I have seen many people that had experience. Architecture can make topic plan. The Master Class was very relaxed. I had a good time. The glass presentations were very good and they had a lot of information.

    Arch. Tilman LATZ

    Guest Speaker, Director at Latz+Partner, Germany

    It is quite an interesting conference. What makes it very easy is the welcoming attitude of the people over here, they are all very helpfull and they try to make it easy for us. It is very nice and I learned also something that in Romania there are many things happening and those people who work at the top end of design, questions about design, and others work in the clasical theme like everywhere else and that is nice and you hear new things. That’s a good thing. I must say I have seen wonderfull projects somewhere in the North-West of Romania from the church, which is amazing when an architect tries not to rebuild anything or whatever, but to interpret an old church is very close to landscape. I am an architect as well and I did liked that because it is a very sensitive work, so one could say that Romania is not back behind, but is at the same level with the other countries and that makes it nice, because that is the basis for a fruitfull discussion.

    Arch. Luca PERALTA

    Guest Speaker, Director at Luca Peralta Studio, Italy

    It was very interesting both to be here for the first time and visiting such an incredible and complex city. I found it very intersting to meet very prestigious collegues from different countries in Europe and to be honest, I am also very impressed by the design of the Roumanian achitecture that was presented today, especially because it seems that they have a similar approach to Italian architecture when dealing with existing, we saw a very interesting restauration project today, but also whe building something new in an environmental sensitive natural environment, I think it is a very sensitive approach. So, I think it was interesting from many points of view. Last but not least, I met some companies and producers of materials definetly at the highest standards in Europe. Both amazing pavements and etc.

    Mr. Leon JH SMET

    Guest Speaker, Secretary Nursey Stock, Green City Project, The Netherlands

    I think it is a nice conference, it is an active setup with a nice variety of international speakers and participants. I think there is a good mixture of impulse. When I’ve looked at the Deutch influence of the green company we are looking at the moment, it is nicely added to the other companies. I think the content of the speakers’ program was alright and interesting. It was interesting to see the various type of architecture, the view of the architects of landscape architecture and urban development in combination with a respect for the original location, social aspects, natural aspects broaden my view.

    Arch. Korodi Szabolcs

    Guest Speaker, Architect at Vallum Miercurea Ciuc, Romania

    The first time I went to one of your conferences was at RIFF. I like the complexity, but I am sorry that there are so many parallel sections because I wanted to go at all of them. I find it a very busy day, everything is short and to the point, so it is all right. I went to LAUD and I liked the presentations of the speakers that came from abroad, they had some outstanding works. At the same time, I had the chance to see my friends’ projects whom I haven’t seen in years. We know each other, we talk through e-mails but we do not see our works, we have no time to talk, so this was a great opportunity to discuss between us. It was something personal. The works are so different and that is why I think that the public has to change in one way or another. Any conference is beneficial, if there were architects who would participate at these events like in the medicine or law field, they could analyze their points of view and they could also develop.

    Anul acesta INGLASS și LAUD s-au îngemănat într-o conferință dublă cu un trunchi comun, abordând arhitectura alături de peisagistică și design urban. Ca de obicei invitații străini și din țară au fost selectați după criteriul relevanței lor pe scena actuală a arhitecturii, certificată de premii și distincții. Intervențiile din conferință au abordat două unghiuri complementare, cel al prezentărilor de proiecte și cel al problematizărilor fenomenologice.
    Invitații speciali ne-au oferit experiențe excepționale prin peisajele parcurilor postindustriale realizate de Peter Latz, arhitectura sublimată a serelor și grădinilor botanice ale lui Peter van der Toorn Vrijthof, noua arhitectură de excelentă calitate din Polonia, adusă de Andrzej Bulanda și Krzysztof Ingarden, rafinamentul și inovația spaniolilor prin Maria Gonzales și Juan Coll-Barreu, vești bune din Turcia de la Gül Güven și încă multe altele.

    Arhitecții din România consacrați sau foarte tineri dar cu realizări remarcate, au compus o perspectivă asupra zonei de reușite ale proiectelor recente. Constantin Gorcea, Adrian Spirescu, Călin Alexandru, Vlad Drăghescu, Marius Lucian Luță, Liviu Marian Fabian, Ștefan Paskucz, Eugen Pănescu, Szabolcs Korodi și alții au punctat cu proiectele lor din zona arhitecturii și a spațiului public. Acțiunile recente ale arhitecților de la filiala ordinului din București, coordonați de Șerban Sturdza, au fost prezentate de Vlad Cătună și Tudor Elian. Numitorul lor comun este adresarea către comunitățile din cartiere. Au problematizat profesorii Alexandru Sandu, care invocă absența cercetării consistente în urbanism, și Tiberiu Florescu care descrie școala de urbanism de la București în ascensiune, producând însă specialiști pe care administrațiile care ar avea mare nevoie de ei nu îi angajează, arhitectul șef al Bucureștiului Gheorghe Pătrașcu și Vera Marin, care au relevat nevoia imperioasă de schimbare radicală a legislației pentru urbanism și faptul că Bucureștiul nu profită de avantajele și contextul economic pe care îl traversează.

    Am încercat să adaug concluziile mele despre mediul românesc care formează și influențează calitatea construirii. Nu mai suntem în tranziție, situația fiind stabilizată, însă prost și avem nevoie de o mutație care însemnă regândirea completă a proceselor de construire și un nou pachet legislativ care să nu mai fie doar peticirea celui existent pe măsură ce noi derapaje și rateuri conduc la practici complet indezirabile. Am anunțat că Ordinul Arhitecților din România a invitat și primit răspunsul asociațiilor profesionale ale inginerilor și antreprenorilor din construcții pentru a se reuni în eforturile de a crea un cadru nou pentru construcții. Conferința a fost un prilej perfect pentru a argumenta și transmite această decizie importantă pentru perioada care urmează.
    Expoconferința Internațională de Arhitectură LAUD arhitecturii landscape și design-ului urban. LAUD se adresează arhitecților, landscape arhitecților, arhitecților șefi de orașe, city managerilor, directorilor din cadrul primăriilor și companiilor cu soluții pentru arhitectura, design-ul și amenajarea spațiilor exterioare.

    Peste 200 de arhitecți vor participa la ediția din 2015.

    Conferința LAUD s-a anunțat ca foarte atractivă prin domeniul arhitecturii peisagere anunțat și prin prezența unor vorbitori de excepție, a confirmat această atractivitate prin interesul manifestat de public și a acoperit o zi întreagă cu prelegeri și prezentări, la care s-au adăugat întrebările și interacțiunile cu participanții. Domeniul peisagisticii la vârf a fost acoperit cu exemple din practica internațională de excelență. Dacă ne gândim la situația României, în care nevoia de calitate a localităților în care trăim, de spații verzi și spații publice în general, bine amenajate și accesibile este în creștere, putem spune că LAUD a venit în momentul oportun, atrăgând atenția asupra performanțelor care se ating de alții în acest sector, pe fundalul unei atitudini neinteresate a autorităților de la diferite niveluri pentru acest domeniu. Peisajul natural și cel antropic trebuie considerate ca fiind infrastructura fundamentală a cadrului vieții, suportul continuu al arhitecturii și patrimoniul esențial al comunităților, acesta este mesaju pe care îl transmitem prin LAUD tuturor responsabililor statului român.

    Arch. Eugen PĂNESCU

    Guest Speaker, Founding Partner Planwerk Cluj, Romania

    It is the first time I participate. I have heard about these conference but I didn’t have the chance to come. A lot of people come to this conference for the discussions. You can find everywhere images with the guests’ projects. It is a great advantage to see someone speak and to talk to him in the coffee break. For those who practice, but also for sponsors, I think a module for sponsors should be done and in this way, they will be more motivated to talk about their products. The architecture domain is so poor in events and experiences, experiences that have a personal focus and gather staff on different occasions, but they are hard to share, it is a profession that lives through talking. A conference is the best way to share this thing.

Last year I’ve visited many conferences and I think that you are at their level of projects and the quality of the architects. I think you are very good. These types of conferences open a new perspective and we gather, we talk, we discuss and this is a positive aspect.

    LAUD este o iniţiativă foarte bună, va ajuta la dezvoltarea unei culturi între practicienii locali, deoarece aceştia se pot privi în oglindă şi compara cu alţi profesionişti. Am fost surprins pozitiv în ceea ce priveşte proiectele prezentate din Europa de Est despre care nu ştiam foarte multe, de asemenea, cu privire la planurile municipalităţii din București. Nu știu cine le va pune în aplicare, dar mi se pare un lucru pozitiv, un pas înainte. Aceste exemple arată că este o cultură în creștere. Proiectul pe care l-am prezentat a atras atenția din cauza misiunii extraordinare pe care am avut-o. Dacă aveți șansa de a merge acolo, pot să vă promit că veţi fi foarte impresionaţi datorită spectaculozităţii peisajului.

    Arh. Gheorghe PĂTRAȘCU

    Arhitect Șef, Primăria Generală a Municipiului București

    Eu sunt un susţinător declarat al evenimentelor de acest tip care aduc dezbaterea profesională în zona de business. Este utilă şi lăudabilă iniţiativa acestui eveniment pentru că profesioniştii riscă de multe ori să gândească proiectele într-o manieră utopică, puţin cam în nori, neconectându-se suficient la viaţa reală. Vă felicit pentru organizare, fac bine ambelor forţe, în sensul că promovează o zonă care este mai puţin vizibilă pentru publicul larg. Totodată, prin intermediul acestor expoconferinţe, sunt puşi în valoare specialiştii, chiar dacă mulţi strâmbă din nas când află de promovări care au o tentă de business- economică. Eu, însă, consider că fără această promovare nuanţată economic, nu se poate dezvolta domeniul nostru. Ar trebui să ne adaptăm la stilul acesta occidental, cu privire la eficienţa unei activităţi. În fond, arhitectura peisagistică este foarte strâns legată şi de business şi trebuie tratată atât din această perspectivă, cât şi ca artă. Arhitectura nu poate fi tratată ca o simplă artă; arhitectura e o îmbinare între ştiinţă, tehnologie şi artă. Prin acest eveniment, dvs., ABplus Events, aţi reuşit să stabiliţi un echilibru între cele două tendinţe opuse ale arhitecturii: artă şi business. Am nevoie de sprijinul dumneavoastră pentru susţinerea proiectului pe care tocmai l-am prezentat la Expoconferinţa Internaţională LAUD.

    Până în acest moment, evenimentul prezintă aspecte bune. Prin perpetuare, evenimentul va ajunge cu siguranţă la succesul dorit. În mod absolut cred în continuitatea evenimentului, însă cu mai mulţi specialişti în domeniu.

    De aproape şase ani aştept un eveniment de genul acesta. Am avut nevoie, cel puţin din direcţia noastră de furnizori, de un partener, pe care nu l-am găsit până acum şi cred că iniţiativa este minunată. Am zis că undeva apare un fir de lumină şi la noi în zona aceasta a peisagisticii. Acum chiar m-a surprins foarte placut şi participarea, dar şi setup-ul, locaţia, subiectele, nu numai participarea publicului dar şi speakerii au fost unii foarte potriviţi. Faptul că au fost aici şi domnul Ţigănaş şi domnul Pătraşcu, voci rezonante în mediul social şi cred că dacă dumnealor se implică, atunci şi mediul peisagistic va evolua.

    Ideea și conceptul sunt OK, în sensul că în România nu s-a prea pus accentul pe partea de arhitectural în sensul acesta – de landscaping. Arhitectură se face, dar foarte puţin se vorbește despre urbanism, despre un tot, adică fiecare face câte o bucăţică. Noi am venit pe ideea de proiectare, ţinând cont că ne adresăm arhitecţilor, am venit aici nu pe partea de execuţie şi nici pe partea de design, pentru că acesta este rolul dânşilor mai mult, ci pe partea de proiectare, softuri specializate, pentru vizualizări, softuri specializate pentru iluminat arhitectural şi pentru fântâni arteziene.

    Evenimentul este foarte interesant şi ne place. Din punctul meu de vedere, evenimentul LAUD este binevenit, fiind, din ultimii ani, prima întâlnire de acest gen din România. Noi eram reticenţi să expunem, însă acest eveniment ni s-a părut interesant prin program, publicul specializat şi concept şi de aceea am participat.
