Technical tours

Participants of IWSS 2023 will have the opportunity to choose between two technical tours that demonstrate the legacy and the new perspective of shell and spatial structures.

The Legacy of the Past: Torino Esposizioni and Palazzo del Lavoro

The Turin Exhibition Center was conceived in the years immediately following World War II as a public exhibition space to host primarily the annual Automobile Show. The Center houses some iconic shell and spatial structural concrete architectures by Pier Luigi Nervi and Riccardo Morandi. They consist in three grand exhibition pavilions perfectly representing the structural art of these famous protagonists of contemporary engineering and architecture.

The New Perspective: Integrated Additive Manufacturing

The IAM@PoliTo initiative is a mission-driven effort aimed at creating a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research platform for Additive Manufacturing. The overarching goal of this platform is to tackle the existing open challenges in the field of Additive Manufacturing, specifically in terms of machines, materials, and applications.
