A 360-Degree journey into sustainability
A professional journalist, Maria Chiara Voci has been focused on sustainability and health in construction, architecture, building rehabilitation, urban regeneration, innovation, smart cities, and building technology for over 15 years. Enthusiastic—and fascinated—by the sector’s evolution and the growth and development opportunities within the industry, she also works as an author for the Sole 24 Ore group.
She is the editorial director of Casa Naturale, a magazine dedicated to green building, as well as the creator and host of the podcast Non solo Voci – Constructive Dialogues on the Future of Housing: a multidisciplinary journey exploring intersections between construction, architecture, urban planning, and society, aiming to provide a 360-degree perspective on the future of our cities, analyzing both large urban transformations and the dynamics within the construction sector.
From construction sites to design, training to research, the podcast offers a platform for discussion and dialogue for all those interested in building a more sustainable and inclusive future.
In 2019, Maria Chiara Voci founded the project Home, Health & Hi-Tech (casaesalute.com) to promote informed communication and education on indoor health.
In 2011, Maria Chiara Voci founded the journalism service Spazi Inclusi in Turin, a partner organization of Torino Social Impact. The project’s name, “Spazi Inclusi” (Inclusive Spaces), refers to the professional skill of writing within a specific character limit—an essential skill for journalists and communicators. Founded in 2013 as a shared space project and collective, multimedia newsroom, Spazi Inclusi has since grown into a structured company promoting a professional network model and knowledge sharing.
The organization fosters interaction between journalists, corporate communicators, multimedia experts, photographers, videographers, graphic designers, event organizers, startups, and creative communicators. It develops tailored strategies, manages editorial tools and products (print, web, and video) on an outsourcing basis, and organizes events and media relations campaigns.
