The Stake of the Workshop is that 1 + 1 will equal Three! Which means that the wealth of research in Information technology will combine with the concrete experience of the implementation of environmental principles, creative use of vegetation, invention of everyday solutions for architectural purposes. The combination of these two areas of interest will lead the search of the participants to new hypotheses. Particular attention will be raised to innovative uses of ceramics in construction, design and creation of urban spaces. The work of designers participating in the seminar, will be enriched daily by a series of conferences given by architects of great interest operating in Sicily. What is offered is an intense period of study and work, but also a creative and intelligent holiday, in a pleasant seaside resort. Experience has had great success in 2007 and we are sure that this year we will have a happy outcome again.
