The Accademia Vivarium novum of Frascati, with the support of the School of Architecture of Notre Dame University, the international movement New Traditional Architecture, the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and FAI Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano, is happy to present the Conference Firmitas, utilitas, venustas: For the rebirth of a humane architecture which aims at identifying the principles of a truly humane architecture which, in its practical, material and spiritual outcomes, aims to be commensurate to the human nature. Indeed, the Academy strongly believes that human beings should feel at ease in the edifices they inhabit and that architecture should respond to their needs, and not vice-versa. While expressing the urges of progress, technological advances, new cultural modes and aesthetic trends, Modernism in architecture has often created uninhabitable spaces that clash with the surrounding environment and the basic social needs of human beings. In this sense the Accademia Vivarium novum advocates for cultural, artistic, and architectural practices that place our natural humanitas and disposition to harmony and beauty at the centre of their efforts, while pursuing a sustainable impact on the natural environment, and a continuation, rather than a break or juxtaposition, with the surrounding landscapes of cultural heritage. The program is available here: https://vivariumnovum.net/en/events/congresses/24-04-firmitas-utilitas-venustas A simultaneous translation of all speeches in Italian will be available both remotely and in presence.
