Stone: Origins and Future in Architecture
On June 12 and 13, 2025, IUAV University of Venice will host "Stone is…," an international forum entirely dedicated to natural stone. Organized by PNA, this event aims to thoroughly explore the material's enduring value and sustainability, featuring insights from internationally renowned speakers.
It is a performance dilated over time, taking place in house after house. This pilgrimage is inextricably linked to the movement and the crossroads of different cultures and geography.
