Workshops & Case studies   

The project will also include a stage where workshops will be taking place during the three days of the exhibition Those workshops are structured around 3 main pillars (Tech, Design & Sustainability) and wish to create a point of reference for innovation and inspiration both for Architects as well as for the show’s visitors.
