The conference on “Technological and Stylistic Innovation and Urban Renewal - Ceramics: Form, Colour and Sustainability” (“Ricerca tecnologica, estetica e rinnovo urbano - La ceramica tra forma, colore e sostenibilità”) forms part of the “Ceramics in Architecture” season of events, organised by the Casa dell’Architettura, of which Marazzi is an official sponsor, which will include a succession of exhibitions, conferences and workshops for students and professionals during the next 4 months.
The aim of the season is to encourage and support creative cooperation between ceramics, design and architecture, to foster synergies and dialogues between architects, designers, artists, professionals and the ceramics industry.
Flavio Mangione, member of the Casa dell’Architettura Scientific Committee and season curator, after the greetings, opens the conference introducing the main topics before handing over to Andrea Cuoghi, Sales Manager of Marazzi Italia, who looks back over the main milestones on the company's history with the aid of carefully selected photographic material.
