THEMATIC CLUSTERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CIRFOOD DISTRICT materialises its Taste the Future philosophy in four thematic clusters that guide its activities..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n\n
\n
Food making<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The innovation of doing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food accompanies the evolution of civilisations through time and space. Transforming, innovating and working together are the guiding principles for imagining the future of nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n\n
\n
FOOD TASTING<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Tasting and experimenting.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If food is culture, tasting means exploring new languages. Because taste is a tale combining emotions, science and instinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n\n
\n
FOOD CARING<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A passion for sustainability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caring for nature, people and supply chains means having the know-how and ability to make choices, aimed at promoting in order to cultivate ethical and sustainable food choices that are sustainable and beneficial to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n\n
\n
FOOD EDUCATING<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The importance of training.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is a legacy of traditions, good practices and stories about people and territories. It is a knowledge that is lived and experienced: by sharing this knowledge we can build the future together, while ensuring a special focus on the new generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUSTAINABILITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CIRFOOD DISTRICT is an architecture that breathes in harmony with the landscape.
For its highly sustainable construction and plant engineering criteria it has obtained GOLD certification based on the international LEED sustainability protocol. A sustainable, open and transparent space for fostering innovation, relationships and the exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

THE BUILDING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building has a high-performance shell with selective and low-emission glazing, a green roof to improve thermal insulation, a photovoltaic system and technologies for producing hot and cold fluids with high-efficiency heat pumps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

FROM PROJECT TO REALITY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We asked some of the entities that supported us in the design and realisation of the CIRFOOD DISTRICT to tell us something about the ideas behind this important space. Listen to the voices of Gi\u00f2 Forma, University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, IOTTI + PAVARANI ARCHITETTI, FutureBrand and Studio LSA in this video.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

THE STAGE IS SET FOR INNOVATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CIRFOOD DISTRICT reconciles technological research and social innovation. It was designed to foster collaboration and the sharing of experiences and ideas, thanks to an open-plan concept and a public programme of meetings and events for different target groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the Agora – the central square created to host meetings, events and show-cooking events – all areas and workshops in the CIRFOOD DISTRICT can be accessed in a fluid and harmonious way that promotes design and production synergies between the ongoing activities.<\/p>\n\n\n
