TIME SPACE EXISTENCE Exhibition Venice Architecture Biennale 2023.
20/05 – 26/11 Palazzo Bembo – Stanza 15
At the exhibition and in the official catalog of “Time Space Existence 2023”, there will be reFRAME Magazine as Main sponsor, media partner and media event of the UPA – Urbanism Planning Architecture installation by architect Paolo Lettieri, invited to exhibit in this edition. The design approach based on the – Genius Loci -, on the culture of the place and of who will use the buildings, are the two main aspects that have characterized the architecture of UPA over the years. “Designing according to the culture of the place” means identifying with the territory by analyzing and studying it in depth. The place as an added value of the realization is the perspective that UPA offers on the markets in which it operates. A discrete and integrated vision which nevertheless does not give up on innovation and above all looks at the evolution of the place in the future, anticipating trends, messages and new needs. Not only that, a special thematic Event-meeting will be organized on 10 November in which reFRAME Events will involve all Project partners, professionals, architects and companies in the supply chain to get to know each other and discuss each other in a properly constructive dialogue of ideas and experiences. The role of reFRAME Magazine at the prestigious event in Venice, for the entire duration of the Biennale, confirms the will to disseminate the major events in the sector from a cultural point of view. According to the vision of reFRAME Magazine, communicating must never be taken for granted and trivial but first of all it must be experienced in the first person, thus also including the experience to be shared with one’s readers. For reFRAME, the International Architecture Biennale means all of this, talking about projects to enlightened intellectuals and not only to insiders from a technical point of view but rather from a more courtly and visionary approach that knows how to convey news but also emotion and involvement of interest .

The first Metaverse of JCP Universe: Project by the artist Eliseo H. Zubiri
The revolutionary design brand expands into the virtual world through the construction of a metaverse and the creation of furniture products in the form of NFTs, with the collaboration of a multifaceted digital artist. From the creative vision of Zubiri – digital artist, director, designer and musician, whose artistic passion is deeply linked to cinema and contemporary culture – and with the creative direction of CTRLZAK Studio, the JCP Metaverse is a proprietary metaverse implemented on Web 3.0 which gives shape to the visual, narrative and semantic imagery of the brand. JCP Universe simultaneously presents an NFT collection dedicated to 15 symbolic objects of its evolution. Freed from the constraints of matter, the brand’s artifacts digitize and come alive, revealing their profound nature. “The world is divided into three different areas. The first is volcanic and represents the origins of the planet: the force of nature in its purest essence. Then there is an arid desert, where organic shapes are transformed into interior design objects. Inspired by the models we find in nature – such as the structures of bones, mushrooms or corals – these shapes also recall ruins, signs of a civilization that disappeared over time. The third space contains the only vegetation present in this world: a few trees and species of mushrooms that have managed to resist the harsh, dry climate. There is also a luminescent insect that has evolved by adapting to the climate. Thanks to the special energy transmitted by this place, a small ecosystem is born, which becomes the perfect medium for connect with the energetic properties of each tree and rock.”

ARATA ISOZAKI
ARATA ISOZAKI
One of the greatest contemporary architects among the best known in the world, Arata Isozaki, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2019, the most important international recognition for architecture, passed away on December 29, 2022, at the age of 91.
He began working with Kenzo Tange, also winner of a Pritzker Prize in 1987. Designer, theorist and urban planner, he was an interpreter of the fusion of several currents, with an emblematic approach of interpretation and enhancement of the territory and the context in which to erect new structures . It was “the emptiness of architecture”, the shocking effect of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki experienced as a teenager that inspired him. Its architecture is heterogeneous, and has created a charismatic bridge between Eastern and Western traditions. In 1996, Isozaki won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Architecture Exhibition.
In his career he has designed over one hundred buildings in Asia, Europe, America and Australia. In Italy, among the now iconic buildings, the Isozaki Tower in Milan, better known as Allianz Tower or Il Dritto in collaboration with the architect Andrea Maffei; skyscraper in the CityLife district which with its 209 meters is the second tallest building in Italy after the Unicredit Tower. The director of the Uffizi Galleries, Eike Schmidt, also expressed condolences, who remembers him as “a great 20th-century architect of international renown”, underlining that “his abstract and clear language was partly inspired by his profound knowledge of Renaissance architecture Italian”, although among the latest projects that of the redevelopment of the Galleries, signed by Isozaki, has not yet seen the realization. Also worthy of note is Stefano Boeri’s greeting, in his recollection disseminated on social media: “Arata Isozaki was an absolute protagonist of modern and contemporary architecture, capable of combining reasoned eclecticism and rational extravagance in his projects. A rare combinatorial gift, which has allowed him to cross different eras and styles and fashions without ever losing his role as a reference intellectual for several generations of designers, always capable of distilling profound and sophisticated concepts in illustrating his architecture. I met Arata for the first time in Tokyo, in 1997, when together with my students from the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam we were working on Tokyo Voids. Isozaki entertained us for a long time explaining the meaning of the Japanese concept of “Ma” which is both a temporal and spatial “interval”. Since then I have had many opportunities to meet and dialogue, the last one on the occasion of one of his unforgettable lectures at the Milan Polytechnic where I had invited him in the hope of helping him resume his project for the new entrance to the Uffizi in Florence, guilty of being forgotten ”.

Architecture jumps out at us today. Like a tiger, like a wild animal that we no longer know how to tame, that we no longer know how to put in a cage. So, we must ride the tiger. Architecture is born from sometimes chance encounters with clients, unexpected dialogues with people, and finds the necessary answers in the work of a studio. It is the miracle of a drawing made by many hands, which becomes a construction. Then everyone can recognize the piece of work done and is moved, because today that line has become a house, a hotel, an office, and so on. So, recounting our architecture is a way of making an autobiography of many people, brought together by architecture under one roof. The tale looks not only at the past, but also and above all at the future, because doing architecture is everyone’s chosen destiny. Or perhaps everyone has been chosen by architecture and dragged into the game without almost realising it. Then you look back and realise that there has been a change in living, also thanks to us and our role as interpreters of a wider and faster change…
Wehave witnessed a great attention to the rediscovery of traditional workmanship, search for more natural materials, colors and workmanship, linked to local traditions or techniques of the past. Young companies, which in this type of research find a way to express their niche creativity and reconcile it with still limited production capacities.
However, it is now also an increasingly important choice for industrial-type companies, which find their distinctive element in the combination of craftsmanship and industrial production. Therefore, new Musts with the flavor of tradition are imposing themselves, such as the paradigm of — Refinement and Naturalness — in which the search for natural materials and processes handed down by the historical tradition of the brand create new absolutely contemporary contents that cross a demand increasingly attentive to the environment, well-being and the aesthetics of the so-called “contemporary classic,” reassuring and guaranteeing taste and style at the same time. The colors of the woods, the upholstery covers, are markedly naturally inspired: untreated wood but also untreated metals, warm and soft colors, materials with low environmental impact and so on. Other Must-haves are represented by blends-multimaterials- that go into enriching the finished product. Choosing 100% natural may not always work, because natural materials…
The highest rate of real estate investments in the last 5 years in Europe has certainly been achieved by the logistics sector. Savills records the phenomenon of exponential nature summarizing that in Italy alone last year almost 3 million euros were invested in logistics real estate. The catalyst for this reaction unimaginable only ten years ago was not only Covid-19 the development of e-commerce as one might guess at first thought but several other more or less “submerged” but equally effective factors. The development of technology related to warehousing and order fulfillment has fostered the demand for ever larger and more efficient areas of goods containment and storage…
WORK: AN INCREASINGLY SCARCE RESOURCE… TRAINING: THE ANTIDOTE TO SCARCITY!
From recent surveys, the Italian provinces with the sharpest price decrease in the residential sector were Oristano, Isernia, Forli, Sondrio and Biella. By contrast, prices in the most sought-after cities such as Milan, Florence and Venice hold. The highest market demands are concentrated in Rome, Milan, Genoa, Palermo and Messina. Rising costs in large cities lead to increased sales in suburbs or small towns. In a country where real estate can lose up to 20 percent of its value due to inflation, involve a great deal of expenses and taxes, and where taking out a mortgage means creating a large debt with a bank, effectively “losing” or locking up liquidity that could be invested in something else, this idea of the easy and lucrative investment cannot exist…
