PLEASURE IN ARCHITECTURE
NEWS February 2026
AT THE ITALIAN MINISTRY OF ENTERPRISES AND MADE IN ITALY
On Friday, February 19, 2026, at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the Edilsocialnetwork press conference was held to present B-CAD Rome 2026, in the presence of our representative Arch. Ph.D. Alessia Maggio. Alessia Maggio, CEO/CTO of AMAART, has been appointed Official Ambassador. This recognition carries strategic significance: not only an institutional role, but also a direct commitment to strengthening B-CAD as a point of convergence between design, industry, and public policy. The theme developed by Alessia Maggio “Pleasure in Architecture – The Sensitive Space” stems from the insight that architecture is not merely a physical container, but a field of experiences that amplifies human perception and shapes emotions. Through light, materiality, and the proportions of the built environment, architecture becomes shelter, emotion, and a means of reconnecting with nature and with one’s inner identity.

BUILDING MANIFESTO
The science museum in Rome is conceived as a self-sufficient organism that generates its own energy outside the networks. The designed organism has the peculiarity that it puts this self-sufficiency on display as an aesthetic value and proposes it for educational purposes. A manifesto titled Building in which the relationships between building, earth and sky are highlighted. The objective of our proposal is to generate an architectural image, historically aware but not nostalgic or holographic, an ecology that has educational values and is open to innovations and environmentally aware technologies.

The area in which the school is located has a significant landscape value. Starting from the fact that it barely seems to rest on the ground and is a place from which to enjoy the surrounding area through the views all around along the four cardinal directions and, in particular, through the prediction of some perspective telescopes and panoramic terraces. Those who stay in the school are led to learn and appreciate the surrounding nature.

An attempt was made to create a simple building intervention that would privilege the continuity of public spaces without competing with the building designed by Hadid and which would at the same time integrate, in the overall design, the existing building intended as a bar, library and exhibition halls. We were inspired by the relationship between the ecstasy staged by sculpture with the curved walls of via del Quirinale articulated by Borromini and Bernini himself.

COLLE BELLARIA
Award won with the conviction of developing a strong sign for the city of Salerno. Salerno rewards the design antenna that eliminates the pylons from Colle Bellaria. Official award ceremony 25 February 2015, Salone dei Marmi, Salerno. The antenna as an “arc integrated in aluminum”, bright. The peculiarity is that, shining at night, the antenna acts as a clearly visible lighthouse for travelers arriving in Salerno, from its main entrance, the sea. Un “faro” nella notte, ben visibile per chi arriva a Salerno dal suo ingresso principale, il mare. Un punto di riferimento fortemente rappresentativo del percorso di collegamento con la città attraverso il parco. Importante l’aspetto della sostenibilità ambientale e economica: i vincitori hanno fatto uno studio sul ciclo di vita e sulla scelta dei vari materiali per abbassare l’impatto economico ed aumentare la fattibilità della costruzione.
