Umaneco is Nesite’s new creative column in which we want to tell all that is beyond the floor: the human being, the environment, the stories of our projects and those that have inspired us, with different perspectives.
Crasi of Human + Eco, as a reminder of the capacity of us human beings to make gestures of care and respect toward nature and the environment around us, people included. Gestures that can reverberate, resonate, echo in our social, work and relational ecosystem.
Indeed, Eco has a dual evocation: to the semantic field ofecology and sustainability in a broad sense, and to its proper meaning of repercussion, reflection.
The derivation of the word echo is from the Greek òikos meaning “home,” as the quintessential refuge of the human.
After all, a Christmas tree and a Treedom tree are quite similar. In fact, more than a little. Both tell us the same truth: we have a duty and a need to protect the future, in our ideas and concrete actions, to nurture it and believe in its arrival.
There is something about this exhibition that concerns us, as humans and as women. We too are matter that breathes, feels emotions and changes. It is exhausted and renewed. Each artist interprets and expresses matter as a mother who originates, shapes and, ultimately, gives.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a social space that has become a collective narrative, capable of generating connections between people, stirring ancient feelings and making architecture a human experience.
Temporary architectural installations are like comets: they light up unknown spaces, transforming their balance and astonishing those who experience them. Their power lies in redefining and regenerating, combining functionality, elegance, and design.
The Eiffel Tower, a global icon of a nation, is the classic example of “ephemeral” architecture: the special guest at the Party of all Parties, expected to quietly exit stage left once the celebrations ended.
Penicillin. The microwave. Post-its.
These are just a few brilliant discoveries born from striking, almost trivial mistakes. From painful failures and missed targets. All of them are ingenious discoveries that came from disappointments that seemed unsolvable.
They always come back, even when things worsen to the point where we lose hope for a sustainable future. These loves awaken us from our straight lines, reminding us that life, existence, is a perpetual carousel ride, that we are not solitary beings but part of a circle. Sometimes we try to dominate it, and other times we can only return to our starting point to begin anew.
Beauty is a vibration that flows through the senses and absorbs us. It might seem ephemeral, too subjective to be named. And yet, we need it to support our lives. A place ceases to be mere space when we experience it. So it is with beauty: it welcomes us, guides us, moves us. We hear it in nature, taste it in a dish, sing it in the shower, and walk through it barefoot on a sun-drenched terrace in spring.
There is something that accompanies your every step, supports your every choice, and adapts to your path without asking for anything in return. You often take it for granted, but it has always been there, making things happen, at the beginning of your heights. This is the point of view of the foundations, which transform according to each of our desires and needs, without ever letting us lose our balance. Looking towards the future, with our feet firmly on the ground.
