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:Presentation of the Guide on gender and residential architecture "Designing the spaces of everyday life. Gender criteria for the design and public procurement of housing".
DESCRIPTION:This book arises as a response to a concern of the Valencian regional administration for the mainstreaming of the gender perspective in its housing policies and especially in its public procurement processes. \nThe text is the outcome of solid research carried out by its authors at the UNESCO Gender Chair at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The result provides recommendations to facilitate decision-making in the design of spaces that enhance the value of the informal care sphere\, as well as a detailed analysis of international examples of good practice. The event aims to show that the integration of these issues is not a complex matter\, but requires conscious reflection\, which is facilitated through this document. \nThis book is a clear example of how knowledge transfer can improve the quality of public housing policies. \nThe application of the principles set out has allowed for the strengthening of the exemplary role of the administration\, fostering the contracting of gender-sensitive housing through three pilot projects which are already underway and which\, as demonstrators\, seek to be replicated by the private sector. \nThe availability of European funds implies a new way of boosting the housing and construction sector\, and without a doubt\, this cannot be unrelated to the incorporation of the gender perspective in a conscious manner. \nThe event will bring together the main agents of the sector in the territory to share and debate with them the challenge of contributing to a more inclusive architecture.
