If you are a professional interested in discovering the future of integrated solar architecture, it is time to mark these dates on your calendar! Two new courses, developed by SUPSI (University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland) within the European project SEAMLESS PV, will offer a unique and innovative experience in two prestigious locations: Madrid (9-10-11 April 2025) and Zurich (21-22-23 May 2025).
These three-day intensive courses are an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of integrated solar architecture, combining theory, practice and networking with industry experts.
The Programme:
Day 1: Introduction to Solar Architecture
The first day opens with a series of lectures from industry experts and will be an opportunity to explore the main challenges and innovative concepts behind the design of integrated solar buildings.
Day 2: Building Tour – Case Studies in the City
The second day will be dedicated to the exploration of existing solar buildings. A guided tour of selected case studies in the heart of the city will allow you to see innovative strategies in action, meet architects and builders, and ask questions to gain an in-depth understanding of the design and construction process.
Day 3: Company Workshop
The third and final day is designed to put what has been learned into practice. Participants will have the opportunity to see the production line of a BIPV module manufacturing company and face real design and construction challenges in a hands-on workshop.
Course Objectives and Benefits
This course aims to provide:
- Preliminary knowledge on solar technologies, their architectural integration and regulatory and economic aspects.
- Direct field experience and practical workshops, to experience first-hand the application of theoretical concepts.
- Networking with industry experts and colleagues, to establish useful connections for future professional opportunities.
