Architectural restorations with the countries of the Mediterranean Basin

Regional Council of the Order of Architects PPC of Sicily
Saturday November 13- from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Sala Leonetto Tintori

The meeting has the main aim to present the activity that the Consulta degli Ordini degli Architetti di Sicilia is making in order to promote a series of cultural and commercial relationships with the countries of the Mediterranean area and of the Arabian Peninsula. These countries, full of archaeological sites, monuments and territorial areas, are currently promoting a policy of growing exchange of cultural and economic experiences aimed at the refurbishments of their historic centres.
The Consulta in the year 2010 promoted many other initiatives as the participation at the: “Project Lebanon” (Beirut 1-4 June 2010) and the organisation of a technical seminar on the architectural restoration in Casablanca (29 e 30 June 2010). The great contribution of Sicilian architects is giving a strong support to the creation of a centre of educational training aimed at the education of new experts in the field of restoration and preservation of historical and architectural artefacts.
During the meeting will be presented some examples of the adopted restoration methodologies.

Speakers: Roberto Floridia, Gaetano Manganello
