Construction: A Segment
Filled With Possibilities
With forecasts of the number of
accommodation capacities doubling
by 2050, the question of what materials
will be used is becoming increasingly
important, especially considering the
environmental and weight constraints
in this specific field.

Durability of Composite
Materials in Construction
There are no structural reasons justifying
the lack of composite materials use in
architecture, but so far, architects have
been reluctant to taking them into consideration. This session will develop how
to take advantage of composite materials'
properties thanks to various case studies.
