Italian Design plays a starring role in Making Room: Housing for a Changing America, the exhibition that is taking place at the National Building Museum in Washington.

Fabio Novembre, designer, architetto e blogger tiene la sua lezione venerdì 29 settembre, dalle ore 10.00, all'EuropAuditorium all'interno del Palazzo dei Congressi. Prima di lui, Cersaie aveva ospitato per le proprie ‘Lezioni alla rovescia’ grandi maestri del design come Enzo Mari, Alessandro Mendini, Riccardo Dalisi, Riccardo Blumer, Massimo Giacon e Ugo La Pietra.

Cersaie, the international exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings, is ready to open its 35th edition, where products of outstanding quality in terms of beauty, design and technology will be on display for five days.

The new website www.ceramica.info is an integrated information system that combines digital channels with the newly restyled Cer Magazine Italia. It serves as a hub of communication reaching out to all market players, a bridge between the Italian ceramic industry and the various parties involved in the purchasing cycle of this area of Italian excellence.

Now in its ninth edition, the ‘building, dwelling, thinking’ cultural programme will once again offer a packed calendar of meetings and conferences and will welcome prominent speakers from the fields of architecture and design.

This fall, Italian design will play a starring role in a groundbreaking exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Organized by the museum and the Citizens Housing & Planning Council, Making Room: Housing for a Changing America focuses on innovative solutions designed to meet the growing needs of America’s diverse households.

From a regulatory standpoint, most of the requirements that must be followed when designing an effective, safe and long-lasting anchoring system are set out in the standard UNI EN 11018:2003 “Claddings and anchoring systems for mechanically assembled ventilated façades. Instructions for design, installation and maintenance”.

The vast numbers of installations successfully completed in residential, public and industrial spaces demonstrate that ceramic tiling is ideal for many different areas of use. To achieve the highest levels of quality, it is essential for tiling to be designed and executed in accordance with standards.

Giulio Iacchetti: "A well-made design object can become a lifelong companion. But the objects that stand the test of time are those whose role goes beyond their function. They are objects that share a story with us. They arouse emotions and generate a close bond of affection. The most real and most authentic objects are those that evoke strong memories and have a story to tell".
