SUMMARY:The Anna Heringer “Essential Beauty” exhibition\, curated by Luis Fernández-Galiano and organised by Fundación ICO\, opens at the Museo ICO on Wednesday 9 February
DESCRIPTION:https://affordablehousingactivation.org/web/app/uploads/2022/03/ANNA-HERINGER-1.mp4\n  \nThe exhibition\, organised by the ICO Foundation and curated by Luis Fernández-Galiano\, can be visited from 9 February to 8 May 2022.    \nAnna Heringer (Rosenheim\, Germany\, 1977)\, a visionary and multi-award-winning architect with work on three continents\, is committed to the use of local materials and techniques to offer a better future. Her work is based on the exploration and use of architecture as a means to support local economies and promote ecological balance.    \nFor her: “Sustainability is synonymous with beauty\, and what defines the aesthetic and sustainable value of a building is that it is in harmony with its design\, structure\, technique and use of materials\, as well as in relation to its location\, the environment\, the user and the socio-cultural context”. The visit proposes a journey through the work and philosophy of Anna Heringer\, who is deeply interested in the sustainable development of our society and the built environment.    \nShe focuses her work on the use of local materials and techniques to create buildings that are characteristic of the place where they are located. These concepts are reflected in the exhibition; in addition\, the presentation of the projects is supported by textiles made by Bangladeshi women who reproduce the floor plans and elevations of their buildings. The exhibition is completed with texts (such as the Laufen Manifesto\, promoted by the architect herself)\, photographs\, drawings and maquettes that trace a route through the principal projects undertaken by Anna Heringer since 2006.    \nIn all her works she applies one of the most important lessons learned in Rudrapur\, the rural village in Bangladesh where she built her first project – the METI Rural School\, Aga Khan Award 2007 – and where\, today\, she continues to work and collaborate in initiatives for local progress: that the most successful development strategy consists of relying on existing and readily available resources and making the most of them\, rather than relying on external systems.    \nThis leads it to involve local communities in the construction of all its projects\, not only as a way of ensuring that they meet the needs for which they were designed\, but also as a means of providing training in traditional construction techniques to enable the future personal and professional development of its members. Not forgetting that this type of involvement develops a sense of belonging in the community that guarantees the proper and lasting conservation of the buildings. This way of working is embodied in his maxim “Form follows love” which\, in contrast to Louis Sullivan’s famous “Form follows function”\, exemplifies the revolutionary nature of his conception of architecture.   \nMoreover\, with projects such as the RoSana Centre guesthouse – winner of a New European Bauhaus Award in 2021 – in Germany\, or the ecotourism project at Cortijo La Donaira in Ronda\, Spain – both developed in collaboration with Martin Rauch – he has demonstrated that building with earth\, a fundamental element in all his architecture\, is perfectly viable in today’s Europe.

SUMMARY:Localizing the SDGs: Voluntary Local Reviews in the UNECE region. Experiences and good practices
DESCRIPTION:The latter’s growing role in implementation of the 2030 Agenda has led to increased global attention  on localizing SDGs and preparing Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs).    \nCities play an important role in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many cities across the UNECE region have documented their actions towards the SDGs by developing VLRs\, which provide an assessment of their progress towards achieving the SDGs and are a potentially important tool to support socio-economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.    \nBased on those practical experiences of cities on their VLRs development\, in 2021\, UNECE  elaborated Guidelines for the Development of Voluntary Local Reviews in the UNECE region which were endorsed by the Committee on Housing\, Urban Development and Land Management  at its 82nd session\, (Geneva\, 6-8 October 2021). The aim of these Guidelines is to support local  and regional governments in the UNECE region in promoting shared value creation for local  communities like  cities  and  rural  human  settlements  for  developing  VLRs  reports.   \nAt the beginning of 2022 the Guidelines were updated and the side event participants will be invited to share their proposals for further updates of the Guidelines.  \nFurther\,  UNECE  in  cooperation  with  its  centres  of  excellence  in  Trondheim\,  Norway\,  and Geneva\,  Switzerland\,  developed  an online  training  programme  on  the VLRs and  organized subregional workshops. The training programme is being constantly improved and the side event will provide a good opportunity to obtain feedback to the training modules which were created.  \nFinally\, this side event will provide an opportunity to exchange experiences and practices between cities in the UNECE region on the VLR development and international organizations and experts who support local governments in the VLR development.    \nThe side event organized jointly by UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development 2022and the II Forum of Mayors 2022. The side event is co-organized by the UNECE Commite on Urban  Development\,  Housing  and  Land  Management  and  the  University  of  Geneva  in cooperation with UN-Habitat.  \nLink to the recorded event:\nhttps://t.co/UqXaj59y38  \nRegistration link:\nhttps://indico.un.org/event/1000573/ \nStreaming link:\nhttps://media.un.org/en/webtv
