An afternoon of lectures and debates to deepen the state of the art of structural engineering and architecture and investigate possible future research development.
The Universities and Research centres that contributed to the exhibition dialogue on issues related to the analysis and management of risk derived by climate change and natural catastrophes. From the experimentation and use of new materials and innovative production techniques to the impact of new technologies and digital tools on the architectural culture and the built environment.
The three thematic panels alternate with two conversations between academics and professionals to underline the connection between research and professional practice by presenting academic studies and design experiences.
