On May 4th 2022, we organized an educational tour in Milan<\/strong> in collaboration with Archivibe<\/em> – platform of connections between architect\u2019s studios and design companies – to visit some influential Italian architecture firms<\/strong>: an unique opportunity to discover the design philosophy, the sustainable architecture and the top LEED certified projects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The initiative was designed to provide architecture students, young architects, interior designers and architects the opportunity to live an extremely interesting and formative experience, learning from the masters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The educational tour was also organised to celebrate the kitchen mapping in compliance with LEED v4.1<\/a> protocol, the worldwide most known sustainable architecture certification.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The LEED\u00ae certification interests the whole building: it does focus not only on one element such as energy, water, or health but it also looks at a bigger picture, taking into consideration all the critical issues which aim to create the best building possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a matter of fact, 35% of LEED\u00ae credits have to do with global warming, 20% with men\u2019s health, 15% with water resources, 10% biodiversity, 10% green economy, 5% community and 5% natural resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In LEED\u00ae V4.1, the most part of LEED\u00ae credits has to do with operative and incorporated carbon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The far-sighted architecture firms that kindly host the educational tour are:\u00a0Mario Cucinella Architects, One Works,\u00a0Progetto CMR\u00a0and Dontstop architettura.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
