Napoli, 1 December – “We created what was missing in a metropolis like Naples. We got it right for the sixth time, because there are many fairs that we organize at Mostra d'Oltremare, with total and complete satisfaction. I think I gave it to Naples, always a little mistreated, Another opportunity to emerge, finally, on the good news ". So Angioletto De Negri, patron of Progecta, commenting on the ninth edition of Arkeda, the architecture hall, building, Design and furniture that closed at the Oltremare Exhibition Si Naples.

We always try new languages – explains the director of the Fair Roberto Cappelli – To involve the professional class of architects, The laboratory is one of these. The company presents itself in an arena where it does not explain the commercial characteristics of the product but the technical characteristics, philosophy, the way of using your research correctly. The architect reads the company in a different way,
new ".
“The presence of an appointment like Arkeda in Naples – Laura Lieto underlines – deputy mayor of the Municipality of Naples – it is relevant, not only from the point of view of the construction industry but also from the point of view of innovation. We are in times of Next Generation EU, ecological transition. It is important to have an exhibition space where there is the best of innovation on materials, compatibility of performance from an energy point of view, From the point of view of sustainability. This is something that revolutionizes the industry industry and I believe that the contribution of design, in particular of the Italian design, is decisive for the purposes of a better quality and from the point of view of the production of the internal spaces, than external spaces. It is therefore important that the overseas exhibition of Naples continues to have a space, With Arkeda to the ninth edition, where operators, professionals, scholars, And I also hope the students, more and more numerous can participate in this event and can circulate information, ways of doing and innovative practices that are absolutely fundamental in the construction industry, of interior design and the preparation of spaces of everyday life ".
“Arkeda is a professional salon, By definition a point of synthesis and meeting of different figures who – Lorenzo Capobianco underlines, President of the Order of Architects of Naples and Province – For their own skills, each one has to do with the transformation into space. And this transformation is made starting from the construction materials that have their update, Their development of which everyone must have a consity that meet with the skills of those figures with those materials know where and how to use them and therefore we have architects, Engineers and all operators in the sector whose work must necessarily be a joint job for the quality and culture of the project ".
“We are delighted to stay here for the ninth year. We have always been here and we believe in this event that – Remember Raffaele De Rosa, Vice -President of the Order of Engineers of Naples – It remains the only one in southern Italy, The first in Naples, so it is well seen by the engineers, also for the training moments that we guarantee through Arkeda, In a symbiosis with the architects who have become our blood brothers on whom this dichotomy, Atavistic and past, there is no more. There is this continuous collaboration, A miscellaneous of knowledge and skills that only do well to our category. And the awareness of acquiring greater closeness between the two entities can only improve the condition in which the engineers and architects have found themselves and that I hope they improve over time ".
