Terza edizione del Matimex International Architecture Prize, il concorso di idee internazionale per studenti e professionisti, lanciato da Matimex, S.A. in collaborazione con Iris Ceramica Group, che intende concentrarsi sul tema dell'architettura dell'equilibrio, quella che risponde alla celebre citazione di Giovenale "Mens sana in corpore sano".
La ricerca del benessere costituisce, ormai, un concetto fondamentale nella nostra società, perché siamo consapevoli di aver bisogno di prenderci cura del nostro corpo senza dimenticare di allenare la nostra mente. Molti spazi architettonici sono dedicati alla ricerca di questo equilibrio: strutture sportive, palestre, centri per trattamenti alternativi, spa, wellness hotel, beauty center e molti altri, così come i luoghi dedicati alla salute e ai trattamenti medici. Eppure ci sono ancora nuovi mondi da esplorare in questo particolare campo dell'architettura e dell'interior design.
L'intenzione della competizione è proprio quella di progettare un nuovo spazio o di recuperarne uno esistente facendo riferimento al tema del concorso: "The architecture of balance. Mens sana in corpore sano". Nel progetto si deve fare uso di materiali Iris Ceramica Group: Fiandre Maximum - Iris Hilite - FMG Maxfine - Ariostea Ultra - Porcelaingres Just Great - Eiffelgres Megamicro.
The theme of the Matimex International Architecture Prize, offered for the third time this year, is the architecture of balance. "Mens sana in corpore sano".
Juvenal's famous words remind us how important it is to maintain the proper balance between body and mind in order to enjoy life to the full. Holistic well-being is an increasingly widely accepted concept in today's society, as we realise that we need to take care of our bodies just as we keep our minds trained; the two are parts of a single indivisible whole.
Many architectural spaces are partly or entirely dedicated to the attempt to achieve this balance: sports facilities, gyms, alternative treatment centres, spas, wellness hotels, beauty centres and so on, as well as centres dedicated entirely to health and medical treatments. But we are confident that there are still many ways of exploring this field of architecture and interior design.
The idea is to design a new space or reclaim an existing space of one or more of the following types, or a space inspired by the main theme of the contest: "The architecture of balance: Mens sana in corpore sano".
