Tall Buildings, V International Conference

The conference, taking place for the fifth consecutive year in Venice, will coincide with the last weekend of the 14th “Biennale di Architettura”.

International experts and Iuav research team members will engage a debate on the same theme of the 14th Biennale: "Fundamentals”. Therefore the discussion will focus not on architects, but on buildings, their characteristics and performance in accommodating fundamental requirements.
