IRBIM and YACademy Collaboration

The collaboration between CNR-IRBIM and YAC- Young Architects Competitions continues successfully. Following the support for the competition “Iron Island” to write the future of ancient oil platforms, the Advanced Training Course “Concept Design for Architecture” will be held in 2025 to encourage research in design by providing concrete themes and generating solutions for modern challenges. The course includes participation as lecturers by colleagues Gian Marco Luna and Pierluigi Penna from IRBIM in Ancona for the module “Climate Change and Environmental Challenges – Habitats in the Post-Anthropocene”. The goal is to offer a structured criterion with content from various disciplines to stimulate creativity and guide designers in generating original and successful architectural ideas with an innovative approach. As sea professionals, the colleagues will illustrate the changes in marine space caused by human interaction and the scientific questions that require, for example, the creation of low-impact infrastructures. Climate change entails increasingly pressing challenges that require innovative and sustainable solutions to mitigate the effects of global warming and build a more sustainable future, even for marine ecosystems. All these challenges must be addressed with multi-disciplinarity and the meeting of professionals from different sectors. For information and dissemination of the initiative, it is possible to consult the Yacademy website. It is possible to watch presentation videos of the past competition Iron Island; and the official presentation video of the course “Concept Design for Architecture”.
