ECOLOPES INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

The ECOLOPES International Conference took place on February 24, 2025, at the Architecture and Design Department (DAD) of the Polytechnical School of the University of Genova, Italy.

Bringing together over 100 participants both online and in person, the event marked the culmination of the four-year project, showcasing key research findings and exploring future real-world applications. Attendees witnessed how ecolopes can redefine human-nature interactions in cities and revolutionize the perspective of sustainable architecture design and urban planning.
