A NEW COMFORT FOR HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

DON’T LET PANDEMIC STOP YOUR WALK THROUGH INNOVATION
Join peers who are working on developing a new sustainability for historical building!

In all Europe historical buildings have a lot in common.

Beautiful spaces, magnificent decorations, precious elements. Sometimes, in the recent years, their purpose has evolved from place to live for aristocrats, to public spaces dedicated to sharing culture and arts for everyone.

Mantaining the beauty, respecting materials, colors, shapes, and at the same time provide comfort to those who works or visit this spaces, is not an easy job.

That’s the reason why Palazzo Ducale, together with the Schools of Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Hepia, (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland) Geneva and DAD Architecture and Design Department, Genova are meeting for the second year, looking for projects leading to a new Efficiency for Palazzo Ducale
