Sustainability beyond space and time
Valcucine and the LEED mapping, the present and future of sustainability in architecture
March 2022_At the Milan #design Week 2022, #valcucine presents the project "Sustainability beyond Space and Time": a series of appointments aimed at affirming over forty-year of commitment to sustainable production and at celebrating the new LEED v4.1 mapping, in collaboration with all the players contributing to the sustainable #design process.
The new versions of Artematica and Riciclantica will be presented as well as other novelties such as shelving with integrated special elements, the repositioning of materials and finishes and a programme of finishes for architecture.
Paraphrasing the famous quote by Ernesto Nathan Rogers in "From the city to the spoon", #valcucine has involved various architectural firms in a virtual journey, curated by Archivibe in collaboration with Fuorisalone, through some LEED-certified buildings designed by well-known architectural firms such as ARUP, Barreca & La Varra, GBPA Architects, Mario Cucinella Architects, One Works, Park Associati, Progetto CMR, Scandurra Studio Architettura, Skidmore Owings Merril and Tectoo.
In the Valcucine Milano Brera showroom, the LE3DERS project will be presented: an exhibition, curated by Archivibe, of architectural models by well-known international architectural firms such as 3XN, Craft, GCA, HENN, HPP, Rafael de la Hoz and Schmidt Hammer Lassen. The building’s models will be in 3D version and visualised through an Augmented Reality experience using Instagram filters.
Today more than ever we need to be 'accountable', that is reliable, transparent, competent, trustworthy and measurable, especially when it comes to sustainability.
Valcucine has therefore renewed the mapping of its products with the LEED v4.1, the protocol which certifies sustainable architecture, in collaboration with Greenmap which is the Habitech's programme for industry, leading national centre for sustainable building, renewable energy and innovation, recognised by the Ministry of University and Research.
What does LEED® mean?
LEED® Leadership in Energy and Environmental #design is a building certification system applied in more than 150 countries worldwide. It is currently the world's most widespread verification system for green architecture. More than 170,000 square metres are certified every day all over the world. In 2021 alone, more than 1,000 LEED-certified projects covering more than 14 million square metres were carried out in China, followed by Canada (250 buildings), India (146), Korea (42), Spain (100), the United Arab Emirates (73), Brazil (89), Italy (106), Mexico (47) and Taiwan (31).

The LEED system can be applied to any building and interior space and it provides a framework for the #design, construction and management of ecological and healthy, highly efficient and cost-effective structures. The certification is a symbol of excellence and indicates, with third-party validation recognised by the international market, that a building has achieved high levels of energy-environmental sustainability, protecting people's quality of life and health.
Milan is one of the top five cities in Europe, together with Madrid, Stockholm, Frankfurt and Istanbul, for the number of sustainable buildings designed, constructed and managed according to the international LEED standard.
