    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

    INGLASS was perfectly organized and had very interesting presentations. The lecture I held and the message addressed at the event was: “Don’t worry, in two days tomorrow will be yesterday.

    The reason why I accepted the invitation is because I saw in the program that this will be a very well prepared conference. My first reaction was that there is a list of very good speakers and also representatives of prominent architectural offices giving speeches about architectural use of glass. It has been a very big pleasure to be here.

    It is my believe that the time of glass has come, it came a long time ago, maybe a decade ago, maybe even more. I am impressed by the contemporary Romanian architecture, in average I consider it very very good. Comparing to other countries I visit, the average is very very good.

    One of the most important forces behind architectural progress has always been the possibility of coming together, to create platforms where interaction and inspiration can take place. It has definitely been a positive experience. It was a very good blend having a lot of very inspiring, different approaches, lectures, which went well with different shorter lectures in between that were more technical, showing what they are doing, quite inspiring also. I really feel that there is something bubbling in the Eastern part of Europe, which is very interesting for architects.

    I think INGLASS is a fantastic event and amazing opportunity. It is so important to bring together people with this inspiration and connecting them. Everybody brings his point of view and I that is way the event is very inspiring and I really can recommend it, absolutely.

    I think a clear message should be linked to the attributes necessary for achieving and promoting quality architecture in the context of the current sociopolitical Romania. Among this attributes, a must have are, perseverance, consistency and especially patience.

    2016_testimonial_marius_scizlo_2

    It was a very good combination of fresh designers who are somewhere at the beginning or in full swing of their career and who allow us, in fact, to anticipate the future. What pleased me very much was that the public had the opportunity to see what it means to put in the effort to produce quality interiors, as the speakers presented their projects behind the scenes, where we saw huge labour, which one must be both driven and subtle to understand when decoding the result.

    Another thing that I find important is 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.

    I think the conference has exceeded the expectations of many and my explanation is that the format of the conference has been practised in Romania. After the 10 similar expo conferences that have taken place in Bucharest, an equilibrium has been reached, a science of compatible with each other, with the subject, with the expectations of the audience, and I think this is a good time to come to Poland, to export this event.

    I believe that things have started very well, I am extremely curious to see how they will continue. In Bucharest, I have followed the audience and found that it always consisted of a devoted public, certain people, certain faces that I would always see, which means something, and always new people as well. I am very curious to see how the Polish will act. Polish architecture is very interesting, and for me, as a Romanian, even though I know quite a lot about European architecture, visiting Poland has been relevant.

    The Chamber of Hungarian Architects is glad, that INGLASS conference is here in our city, it is the highest professional gathering for architects, dealing with the material glass.

    We support all professional education and conference, which are in favor of our members. The conference is is an opportunity for every registered architect.

    It was a big pleasure to come to the conference. It was my first visit to Bucharest so I was very excited to be here and very excited about the architecture conference in which I could understand some of the problems that Romanian architects and urban planners have.
    Some of the issues are quite similar with what we experience in Poland, so we can understand the situation. I am really fascinated with the architecture of the city and with the organization of the conference. I think the presentations were coherent. I would like to see more from contemporan architecture in Bucharest and Romania, because of many subject touching the urban problems and planning problems.

    I admired the hospitallity and the additional program of INGLASS expo conference. The presentations were really interesting due to the level of the subjects spread out very well, from architecture to teaching. I think everyone could find everything for himself.

    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.

    Arch. Peter van der Toorn VRIJTHOFF

    Special Guest, Partner at ALLDESIGN, The Netherlands

    I was surprised that Warsaw was an interesting city but Bucharest is also an interesting city. If you walk outside, it has the athmosphere of Paris, and even the athmosphere of Budapest. I think it is an invitation to come back for a few days in Bucharest. For the Master Class, I calculated that it was one hour and a little bit and in that time all kind of information were coming up, so I found out that I have to be more disciplined. The feedback at the university was fantastic. Everything was ok.

    Arch. Gül GÜVEN

    Guest Speaker, Founder VEN Architecture, Turkey

    I am happy to be here. It is a good and big organization. There are three conferences in Bucharest, Warsaw and Budapest and I attended only two conferences and it is a beautiful experience.

    Mrs. Carmen Pascu

    Aluprof Romania

    It is a very well organized conference from start to finish. Everything was organized including the continuity, lunch, coffee break, everything was super. Generally, the contact and the relationships with people are very helpful, because, in the end, beyond the sites, presentations and leaflets, what matters is the contact with the participants, speakers and with people in general.

    Mrs. Petra Takacova

    AGC GLASS EUROPE

    This is the first time we are main partners at INGLASS, I never participated before at INGLASS and I can only compare with the May INGLASS in Warsaw. Here, in Bucharest, there are more partners, it is more crowded here in the corridor, there were more people at the beginning of the program. We were pleased that there were people and that many architects came and they were interested.

    Arch. Juan Coll-Barreu

    Guest Speaker, Director at Coll-Barreu Arquitectos, Spain

    I liked the conference. I must congratulated the organizers for their perfect organization and for the congress. This was a very good thing, because the speakers were relaxed and they were feeling very well. I think the models between the speakers and the responses are good, because there are a lot of interesting topics. I enjoyed to present and I think that four or five minutes of feedback included in the presentation would have improved our presentation, the topics.

    It was a big opportunity to meet in one place so many people. It is a big challenge for us today to combine our forces for close cooperation between architects, glass producers and investors, to reach the ambitious goals of our customers. They are looking for better parameters, better design, performance, looking for a good service and smart communication, and to reach these dreams we have to combine forces and work together.

    Markus PLETTAU

    Regional Market leader, High Performance Building Solutions at Dow Corning, Speaker and Partner

    I am positively surprised to see that there are so many architects, that there are engineering companies as well, sharing all their knowledge. It is good to see the other side because we are coming from the industry and we have had an inside-out look from time to time in this kind of events. It is a really nice event, a lot of interest is generated through all these presentations. I am excited to see there is so much interest in the innovations we have presented today.

    Wolfgang RIEDER

    Rieder Group, Speaker and Sponsor

    The conference has been very good. I am astonished to having so many architects here, I am looking forward to conversation leads, whatever comes out of this conference. I am always positive, I hope my speech will be remembered, I tried to be really focused on what people are interested in. It is a great opportunity to spread the word, to get the news out. Many of my colleagues and speakers already did a kind of seeking for questions which need to be answered. The audience kind of steer you in a certain direction.
