5ο Συνέδριο Αρχιτεκτονικής και Τουρισμού
2023-12-01 10:00 - 2023-12-03 16:00 (Europe/Athens) | Κέντρο Αρχιτεκτονικής της Μεσογείου, Ακτή Ενώσεως & Πλατεία Γεώργιου Κατεχάκη, Χανιά, 731 32
Το Συνέδριο Αρχιτεκτονικής και Τουρισμού, θα πραγματοποιηθεί απο 1 εως 3 Δεκεμβρίου στο Κέντρο Αρχοτεκτονικής της Μεσογείου στα Χανιά, και διοργανώνεται απο την Design Ambassador και το Archisearch.gr, σε στρατηγική συνεργασία με το Κέντρο Αρχιτεκτονικής της Μεσογείου και την αιγίδα του Δήμου Χανίων και του ΣΕΤΕ. Το θέμα της φετινής διοργάνωσης είναι «Kλιματική αλλαγή και τουρισμός».
Σήμερα περισσότερο από ποτέ, η προσοχή είναι στραμμένη στις πτυχές της ανάπτυξης του τουρισμού, χάριν της συνεισφοράς του στο ΑΕΠ και την υποστήριξή του σε άλλους τομείς της οικονομίας, όπως ο πρωτογενής αγροτοδιατροφικός και ο κλάδος της εστίασης, αλλά και λόγω του μεγάλου ποσοστού που αντιπροσωπεύουν τα τουριστικά έργα στον τομέα των μεγάλων επενδύσεων, των έργων υποδομών και τον κλάδο των κατασκευών. Η τελευταία παράμετρος είναι μία από εκείνες – ίσως η πιο προφανής οικονομικά – που συνδέει την αρχιτεκτονική με τον τουρισμό. Ο συνδυασμός της φύσης, του δομημένου περιβάλλοντος, των ανθρώπων και των δραστηριοτήτων τους, που συνθέτουν την ταυτότητα του τόπου και την μοναδικότητα – ή και το αντίθετο – της εμπειρίας είναι άλλη μία ακόμη παράμετρος.
Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, είναι σαφές ότι η αρχιτεκτονική δύναται να δώσει λύσεις – ή να ολιγωρήσει – για μία σειρά από φλέγοντα ζητήματα. Σε αυτά τα ζητήματα προστίθεται, με καθοριστική δυναμική για το μέλλον, η μεγάλη πρόκληση της κλιματικής αλλαγής.
Μερικές απο τις θεματικές που θα καλύψει το συνεδριο είναι:

Ποιος θα είναι ο ρόλος της αρχιτεκτονικής στη χάραξη αυτής της νέας εποχής;
Ποιες είναι οι πραγματικές όψεις της αειφορίας, οι οποίες θα συμβάλουν στον περιορισμό του περιβαλλοντικού αποτυπώματος του τουρισμού και με ποιον τρόπο, παράλληλα, θα δημιουργήσουν το υπόβαθρο για την ικανοποίηση των ταξιδιωτών;
Πώς συμβιβάζεται η αυθεντικότητα και ο χαρακτήρας ενός τόπου με τον διεθνή χαρακτήρα των προτεραιοτήτων και στρατηγικών;
Με ποιες άλλες τάσεις του μακροπεριβάλλοντος αλληλεπιδρούν οι συνέπειες της κλιματικής αλλαγής, επηρεάζοντας τον τουρισμό; Μπορεί η αρχιτεκτονική να βοηθήσει;
