Italian Workshop on
Shell and Spatial Structures
IWSS 2023
The IWSS 2023 will take place in Turin on 26th - 28th June 2023.
The technical program of IWSS 2023 includes three days of keynote lectures and talks regarding experimental and theoretical studies, numerical methods and approaches for the design, form finding, structural optimization, seismic analysis, sustainability analysis, stability analysis, manufacturing, testing, damage detection, structural health monitoring, maintenance, and historical reviews of all types of shell and spatial structures. These may include, but are not limited to, tension, cable and membrane structures, framed and lattice structures, gridshells, active-bending structures, large span roofs and bridges, biomorphic structures, tensegrity structures, pneumatic and inflatable structures, offshore structures, space architecture, active, multistable and deployable structures, masonry and stone arches and vaults, concrete, steel, metal, timber, bio-based and innovative materials.

IWSS Pier Luigi Nervi Prize
Pier Luigi Nervi Prize recognizes talented young researchers, designers, and engineers working in the field of shell and/or spatial structures. This recognition is achieved by selecting outstanding submissions to the Italian Workshop on Shell and Spatial Structures in the form of research papers, resumes of design projects, or presentations of innovative ideas. Potential applicants may consult information regarding the first cycle of award at this page.
The IWSS is organized with the endorsement of the Ordine degli Ingegneri della provincia di Torino.
La partecipazione all'IWSS è valida per la Formazione Continua degli Ingegneri secondo il Regolamento. Per gli eventi in FAD i CFP sono validi solo per gli iscritti all’Ordine di Torino.
