Real Estate upgrading: WOW! Seminar cycle with Ordine Architetti di Milano.

WOW! enriches its meeting programme: the new WOW!Seminar cycle is planned, held at Assimpredil ANCE conference center in  Milano (16/1, 20/2, 13/3/2014). The subject: Corporate Real Estate upgrading: what are the criteria? What is the architect’s role? Italian language. Free entrance. È necessario registrarsi qui.

The highlights of the seminars will be published in WOW! Webmagazine.
WOW! broaches the subject of the property in the service industry pragmatically, through  some excellent case studies, smart-building and smart-city oriented, related by their planners, as well as planning methods and approaches and appraisal systems of performance, so that the upgrading concept isn’t just a striking face-lift.
If eco-sustainability is the ethical and economic priority, optimization of areas and property performance are likewise necessary factors in today’s property market. Over half of the real estate in the service industry doesn’t meet Class A requirements and the new city doesn’t need concrete only, but also technological infrastructures.  What role does the architect plays in this scenario? Who are the new actors involved in the project? What criteria should be followed to reconvert the existing property? How a combined, upgrading and functional project should be tackled? Is green refurbishment the only “sustainable” space left to the architectural project?
Three seminars to compare opinions and the role of the architect and of the new actors involved in the project of sustainable reconversion of the existing property in the service industry.
