Showcasing the healing effect of design

Another spectre haunts the planet

Abstract

Anna Heringer. Essential Beauty

AAVV. Fundación ICO, Arquitectura Viva, Madrid, 2022

Faced with the threatening panorama that envelops the planet, the result of climate change and the enormous social gaps produced by the continuous crises we suffer, what design will have to accompany future human actions?

Essential Beauty, with Anna Heringer's essays, is committed to architectures for life that, by recovering local climatic behaviour models, return the materiality of architecture to its environment and share its promotion and production with communities. An architecture capable of communicating the importance of its commitment to social issues and the Planet, ultimately involving us all.

Approaching this series of installations, guided by a clear system of orientation, leads us to modify certain learned assumptions and protocols in order to move among other searches, situations and geographies that aim for a more human design culture, configured among all, that underlines its relational role and the value of care for this space of behaviours that is the environment.
