Norman Foster launched the San Marino Declaration on 3rd October 2022 at the 83ª sesión del Comité de Desarrollo Urbano, Vivienda y Ordenación del Territorio de la CEPE.
El La ONU ha instado encarecidamente a los arquitectos, city shapers, and engineers to put these sustainability principles into action.
Tom Ravenscroft de Dezeen escribió que el La Declaración de San Marino es un juramento hipocrático para los arquitectos.

A declaration by the UN, which is really a set of principles for a sustainable and inclusive future of urban design and . And so people who are finding affinity with this are agreeing to do several things, all germane to the design of buildings in cities.
So it works at two scales.: The micro-scale, and also the Urban Planning scale, designing these things, buildings, and cities in a way that limits the use of energy.
..They’re going a little further to or agreeing to only using sustainable energy sources. So wind, hydro, tidal, solar, reuse of rainwater, limit the use of other natural resources, use salvaged or recycled materials where possible.
And this one I kind of really like because it’s a little less traditional and unexpected, but it’s consistent with things that I’ve been seeing here.: Respect the identity and cultural heritage of places and buildings.
En Dezeen, Tom Ravenscroft escribió que la declaración es un juramento hipocrático para los arquitectos. Daniel Jaconetti investiga de manera excelente esta metáfora.

I think it’s a really, really good comparison or metaphor. Let’s pick a particular specialty of medicine. Plastic Surgery. And if a potential patient went into a consultation with a plastic surgeon and asked them for something that was going to turn out bad. Like, you know, came from the wrong motivation, or, you know, just wasn’t going to work out the way they thought.
Ese cirujano plástico jura no sólo decir que sí, tomar su dinero y convertirlo en Frankenstein, sino que se supone que debe educarlo y ayudarlo a comprender que esto no producirá un resultado positivo.
Así que nosotros, los arquitectos, los ingenieros y otros profesionales del diseño de edificios, tenemos la responsabilidad similar de educar a nuestros clientes sobre las implicaciones de lo que están tratando de hacer.
Tocando brevemente la política sin entrar demasiado en política, pero hace años, aquí en Estados Unidos, hubo un grupo de empresas que simplemente acordaron que no iban a competir en la RFP para construir el muro fronterizo que el expresidente Trump estaba tratando de construir. construir porque simplemente no creían que fuera lo correcto. Así que eso es respetar tus principios y no simplemente decir, oh, quiero el dinero.
I think that we have that responsibility and AIA (the American Institute of Architects), which is our professional association here in the US, has codified this in our code of conduct, that we have a professional responsibility to engage in and educate our clients on matters of climate change, and environmental responsibility in everything we do. So I think it was a really good metaphor.
