Traditions Have Taste
Regionality-Responsibility-Biodiversity
Date: Wednesday, March 10th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The agricultural cooperative Agriarquata was founded on March 8, 2018 in Pescara del Tronto with the aim of promoting and improving typical mountain products. Our socio-economic challenge is to create a circular economy that supports small local farmers and is committed to the preservation of the typical rural landscape.
The Vino Pecorino project was born in 2015 in order to rediscover the cultivation techniques of the ancestors on “piede franco” (unrefined vines without rootstock), which were passed on from generation to generation.
In 2018 the project "Terra Divina" was born with the aim of popularizing and enhancing the production of wild fruits. Wild plants such as chestnuts, apples and wild fruits do not need plant protection. They are generally acclimatized and inherently resistant.
Our form of farming can be described as "resistance or heroic agriculture". For the much more labor-intensive cultivation of the cultivated areas and their lower productivity compared to the plain or hill region, the wealth of tastes and smells compensates.

The Feasible Reconstruction
Bivouac Zilioli at 2250 m Above Sea Level
Date: Wednesday, February 24th, 2021, 6 p.m.
……… "possible: what can be done, what is within the limits of an objective and even subjective ability".
It is the "it-can-be-done" that often urges us to embark on an adventure, accomplish an achievement, accept a challenge, go beyond the ordinary. Yes, I believe that reconstruction must necessarily have the character of the extraordinary, which is understood as overcoming everything that is not "usual" in a certain activity, such as building.
In the case of the Zilioli refuge, one could in a certain sense say that the extraordinary has been built at 2253 meters above sea level. The refuge can only be reached by foot via a path with 700 m difference in altitude in almost 2 hours and for these and many other reasons, this reconstruction can certainly be considered something extraordinary.
Even the destruction of a huge territory by the earthquake is something extraordinary, but then why insist on reconstruction, the management of which has nothing extraordinary ... planning, regularity of cities, misuse of buildings, opinions, building permits and what is the challenge? Where the business, where the courage to rebuild?

Urban Acupuncture and Cultural Networks
Territorial Cultural Networks and Archives to Secure the Memory of the Venice lagoon and Earthquake-Hit Villages
Date: Wednesday, February 17th, 2021, 6 p.m.
Some landscapes are as fragile and precious as they are at risk of implosion, such as the Venice lagoon and the earthquake-stricken villages of the Apennines. Enhancing them means starting bottom-up cultural processes, capable of regenerating communities in crisis and consequently their territories. We will describe these risks and present architectural projects and cultural strategies, both capable of triggering those virtuous processes. They are based on common strategies such as urban acupuncture and light infrastructures for the material heritage; archives and dissemination centers for the intangible heritage; territorial networks of slow and sustainable mobility for the whole territory; evolved models of participation for the local communities, as inspired by the Faro Convention, approved a few months ago by the Italian State.

MAKE IT DIGITAL - Digital and Automated Production of Emergency Shelters - Case study: Amandola
Date: Wednesday, February 10th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The digitization of construction processes is a constantly evolving phenomenon. Even in the most advanced forms, the use of "digital" in the context of housing emergencies has not yet been well researched. Some applications show internationally how digital technologies can advance processes of participation in crisis management. The lecture illustrates the partial results of an ongoing research carried out by the Scuola di Architettura e Design of the University of Camerino, which focuses on the application of advanced digital technologies for the creation of temporary artifacts and small infrastructures in the service of the earthquake victims of central Italy.

Mountains Between Earthquakes and Aftershocks ...
Date: Wednesday, January 27th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The mountains and villages in the Central Apennines are a treasure trove of history. In ancient times they were described as wild and inhospitable environments.
Boccaccio, defined a very distant place as "More over there than Abruzzo" and as late as the 18th century Anne Radcliffe described Abruzzo as an unknown land full of mysteries, to come to the present when Quasimodo still speaks of men after the Second World War who had an "iron and feudal past".
Instead, we would like to mention some of the voices from our countries that have seen many earthquakes, among other things. However, these voices are not voices of despair. They tell of strength and hope in a present worth living and a better future.
From the great earthquake in Avezzano in 1915 to the earthquake in 2016-2017 that destroyed Accumoli, Amatrice and all the neighboring towns, we will hear some of these voices, without forgetting that the countries and cities are not made entirely of bricks , but also consist of memories of their people.

OFF-REC Prefab building systems for off-site postearthquake reconstruction - Case study: Pescara del Tronto
Date: Wednesday, January 20th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The seminar deals with the topic of reconstruction after an earthquake, which is examined from the perspective of building systems and processes. Reconstruction is indeed a "process" that is closely related to the technological decisions that are made at its base. Not only the efficiency of the process depends on this, but also the quality of living, the environment and construction of the new settlements, as well as their compliance with the current and future needs of their users.
After a general outline of the problem, the seminar will illustrate ongoing research at the Scuola di Architettura e Design of the University of Camerino, which focuses on the design experiments of lightweight systems for "off-site" reconstruction in the context of Pescara del Tronto.

“Kastl-Greissler” - New Austrian Self-Service Store Concept with a Low Investment Threshold
Date: Wednesday, December 16th, 2020, 6 p.m.
The "Kastl-Greissler" presents a new Austrian concept of a self-service shop that is integrated into a converted container. Wherever the profitability threshold for a local supplier is not reached, the "Kastl" offers an alternative supply option with locally produced products and everyday wares.
This concept has proven itself in remote regions with weak supply structures. The "Kastl-Greissler" business model with its experiences, potentials and difficulties will be presented and discussed.

The Medieval Pilgrimage as a Contemporary Experience - Adrenaline-Proof Visual Culture Considerations
Date: Wednesday December 9th 2020 at 6 p.m.
Walking seems to be the simplest act in the world, inextricably linked with the human being. Walking is also a movement that humans today share with all the homines sapientes sapientes who preceded us. But does this activation of the body affect the perception of (medieval) art? Based on a 4.900 km “continuous experience”, this lecture aims to reflect on the role of the body in understanding (not only) medieval visual culture; with special attention to the art that was created for medieval pilgrims.

We look forward to your lively participation and an inspiring exchange of ideas in the following round of talks.
Module Week for Students of the Course Renovation and Revitalization
Accumoli - Renovation and Revitalization
Date 8.-13. Juni 2020
The module week will partake in a virtual visit and exploration of the city Accumoli and its surroundings in the current state by means of drone flights. The focus of the week is on the analysis of the main street in its presentation of then and now. In particular, it is about the exploration of select side streets and squares with the objective of making "paths in the landscape" visible, which invite one to linger and observe. The beauty of the city should be appreciated and emphasized due to its positioning in the surrounding nature and in the arrangement and orientation of its streets and squares. The objective is to compare and establish a relationship with other European cities destroyed by earthquakes and learn from the differences and similarities of the objects.

The Architecture of the Future
Lightweight Architecture made of Membranes and Wood
Date 15.–17. June 2020, 14-18:00
The seminar would like to counteract the consequences of the earthquake in Accumoli (I) and, in connection with the construction of temporary buildings, consider a construction method that is innovative, sustainable and ecological and that enables high architectural quality through transparency and lightness. Therefore, an example of such a building for the future should be created. The first step is this seminar. This event takes place as part of the Scuola di Ricostruzione di Accumoli.
