For the second year in a row, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ivrea (it), the Industrial City of the 20th Century is hosting the CONCRETO Masterpiece.
The CONRETO Masterpiece is a 2 weeks practical learning experience in the context of the Erasmus+ project on Empowering the Green Rehabilitation of European Concrete Architecture.
DOCOMOMO International is a proud supporter of Conservation and adaptive reuse of Modern Architecture and therefor a partner in the project and is happy to be on-site at the former Olivetti Factory to team up in the workshop with the students: happy learning!
CONCRETO is an Alliance for Education and Enterprises within the Erasmus+ Programme.
A 36-month project bringing together 13 partners from 5 EU countries to promote the GREEN REHABILITATION of EUROPEAN CONCRETE ARCHITECTURE.
Inspired by the Renaissance idea of the “Artist’s Shop” or “La Bottega”, the CONCRETO ALLIANCE will work together on a learner-centred, INNOVATIVE apprenticeship programme, where students and professionals acquire and practice skills on real-life examples, progressing from students to APPRENTICES.
The CONCRETO Partners recognise the LACK of specialist skills available and the NEED TO DEVELOP GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS for the quality regeneration and maintenance of our MODERN CONCRETE BUILDINGS.
From here, the INNOVATIVE IDEA of creating a cross-sectoral knowledge flow, promoting best practices by fostering a NEW SKILL SET to equip professionals better to become the experts of TOMORROW.
