The symposium is a first-time Italian gathering of a significant selection of leading European experts in upcycling, reuse and circularity in the field of architecture. The event’s main goal is to map the state-of-the-art of ongoing practice and research continent-wide, focusing on a few particularly relevant construction sites and scientific advancements. Practitioners and researchers are invited to present their experience and share their knowledge and critical perspective on the topic. In keeping with the objectives of the Research Project of National Relevance (PRIN) “Upcycling Architecture in Italy. Forging and Promoting a Renewed Building Culture”, the symposium is understood as a key occasion to give full publicity in Italy to the most advanced European contexts and cases, and to put them in dialogue with the best national experimentations.
