‘Waste Architecture Platform’ is a complex project
conceived as container of initiatives devoted to
environmental architecture in connection with
interventions concerning the collection, disposal
and management of waste

FINAL PROGRAMME

The Workshop lasted 2 days. The first day was devoted to the presentation of oral contributions organised in thematic sessions, followed by opportunities for discussion and debate. Each session was chaired and moderated by an expert in the field.
On the second day a practical landscape design lab session was coordinated by Giovanni Maciocco, Professor Emeritus of the University of Sassari (IT), with the collaboration of Israel Alba, Professor at Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Campus de Madrid (ES). The laboratory was preceded by an introductory lecture on the topic. This session gived participants the opportunity to apply theoretical notions and share their views with colleagues and experts within their working groups.
