Dear colleagues and friends,
Attached
you will find, information concerning
Mediterra 2009 _ 1st Mediterranean Conference
on Earth Architecture
It will take place from the 13-16 March
2009, in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.
Aims
Mediterra 2009 aims principally to state
the art of research, to study recent achievements
in heritage conservation and architectural
design, to increase university and professional
training and to gather the network activities
developed in the Mediterranean region.
Contribution
This 1st Conference will include specialists
from throughout the Mediterranean region.
It will also have a transdisciplinary contribution
that will bridge natural sciences, social
sciences, and professional practices. A
new global challenge requires a broad definition
of a new discipline, with earth architecture
at the crossroads of the sciences. The Mediterranean
Region, with its history of many cultures
and civilizations, now emerges as the core
of new political and societal challenges
being shared among Europe, North Africa
and the Middle East.
