ECOWEEK 2011
URBAN COMMUNITIES + GREEN ARCHITECTURE
International Conference and Interdisciplinary Design Workshops for
Young Architects, Designers, Landscape Architects and graduate students
With more than 300 registered participants from 16 countries, and
with 37 professional workshops in four different THEMES, ECOWEEK 2011
was the most successful ECOWEEK gathering of young professonals and
experts till today!
This year, for one more year ECOWEEK brought together the best among
ecologically minded-architects, designers, landscape architects, young
professionals, and graduate students, in a week of creative thinking
'out of the box', cooperation, dialogue, intercultural exchange, networking,
hard work and lots of fun!
ECOWEEK 2011 was a great opportunity for young professionals to learn
about 'green' buildings, to hear and meet the best architects in the
field, to learn from the best engineers and experts in the field,
to train and gain experience in how to think, plan and design 'green'.
ECOWEEK included lectures and keynote lectures by international speakers,
documentaries, thematic lectures and interdisciplinary workshops,
site visits, and more!
ECOWEEK has invited
since 2005 internationally acclaimed speakers, expert architects,
landscape architects and engineers to give lectures about their projects,
explain how 'green' buildings work and how we design and operate them,
to lead design workshops and share their experience, expertise and
skills with young professioinals, and to give us insights and inspire
us about sustainable solutions in design and beyond. Meet some of
the distinguished ECOWEEK speakers:
ECOWEEK 2011 took place in March 28 - April 3, 2011 in Thessaloniki,
northern Greece, an important port city, accessible by train from
Europe, the Balkans, and Turkey. Thessaloniki, an ancient city dating
back to Alexander the Great, has been home to many religions, ethnicities,
languages and nationalities throughout history, traces and monuments
of which can still be seen when walking through the city. ECOWEEK
is very proud to hold its conference and workshops for the first time
in this important historic and inspiring city. ECOWEEK also acknowledges
the successful close collaboration with the City of Thessaloniki,
the presence of Mayor Y. Boutaris during the workshop presentations,
and the close collaboration with the Office of Deputy Mayor K. Zervas.
