| Saie to discuss concrete  Concrete: Tradition and modernity – Innovation, Reliability, Creativity will be the slogan of the second edition of Saie Concrete 2007, a biennial event that will be held during the week from 24 to 28 October in Bologna during the International Building Exhibition Saie. The 2007 show will discuss concrete in its dual role of a traditional but constantly evolving material, a historical yet modern product. The most important of the scheduled conferences will be held on 24 October, the first day of Saie 2007. Innovation will be the central theme of this conference comparing regulations (CE marking and new technical standards for construction) and building quality.The conference will also see the presentation of the second report on The reinforced concrete market, produced by Cresme, which will assess the performance of the reinforced concrete sector as a whole and compare individual product segments with trends in the building market. On 25 October, an architecture conference will be held on the theme of Building design with reinforced concrete. The conference will provide an insight into the creative world through the work of an internationally renowned guest, the Italo-French architect Rudy Ricciotti. Winner of the 2006 edition of the prestigious Grand Prix National de l'Architecture, he has been described by critics as "explosive and theatrical" and as the "D'Artagnan of reinforced concrete" and is currently one of the most original architects working in the field of building design. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
