El dimecres 19 de novembre se celebra una nova edició del Tribuna COAC, que aquest cop comptarà amb la presència de l'arquitecte japonès Kengo Kuma. La conferència, titulada "After 3.11", tindrà lloc a la sala d'actes de plaça Nova, i compta amb la col·laboració del Smart City Expo World Congress. Kuma ens parlarà* sobre com "minimitza" l'arquitectura, especialment des del desastre natural del 2011 al Japó, amb l'objectiu de col·laborar "en el trànsit del món cap a les petites coses".
* La conferència serà en anglès.
Tribuna COAC és una nova proposta del Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya que té l'objectiu de facilitar que les persones amb responsabilitat i capacitat d'influir i decidir en l'àmbit de l'Arquitectura i l'Urbanisme ens puguin donar a conèixer de primera mà el seu punt de vista, accions i propostes.

“Minimize”- The World is Moving Toward Small Things. It was always a natural disaster that directed the course of our civilizations, but the great disaster of 3.11 differed from any other catastrophes since the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. Nature was desperately forceful as never before. However “strong” or “rational” the structures were, the tsunami flattened Tohoku coastline in seconds. The nuclear accident that followed further revealed the inability of “big and strong” architecture. In front of radiation, concrete or steel meant nothing, even though nuclear energy was a solution for our desire since the Lisbon tragedy, to become bigger, stronger, and more efficient. Now that such a process collapsed on itself, we have to start from scratch. Even before 3.11, I had already been fed up with massive concrete and steel buildings, and began to design a number of small works of architecture. You can build them on your own with nearby materials and be totally independent from strong powers – or rather, dependent solely on the nature. Now I sense that the whole world is shifting toward small things. We are no longer passive creatures who are spoon-fed from a giant yet unreliable system. Each individual starts to nest by him or herself and get energy on his or her own. A new relationship is being formed between people and the world. In the lecture I will discuss how I “minimize” architecture to help this transit.
