The venue of the conference is the Polytechnical School of the University of Genova, in its historical location in the city centre, at the Architecture and Design Department (DAD).
The Architecture and Design Department is located in the ancient heart of Genoa, a stone’s throw from the places for socializing and free time; it is a small green campus, re-built on the ruins of the medieval monastery of the Nuns of San Silvestro.
