A lecturer with extensive experience in the implementation of projects and works in steel construction will make the introduction to this topic. Intended to disseminate examples of use of steel structures in emblematic works of modern architecture, emphasizing the need for intensive cooperation between designers of architecture and structures and the potential of steel as a chosen construction material. This is a theme you would expect to attract a significant participation of architects designers.
In addition to the most recent works and projects in steel and/or composite structure there will be a discussion on recent trends regarding the conception of bridges and construction processes.
Sustainability is a key issue for the development of society in all its aspects. There will be a discussion on recent projects and works in steel structures, demonstrating the natural attractiveness of these structures to meet the goals of sustainable construction: be socially fair, economically viable and "environmentally friendly."
This theme aims to highlight recent developments in the construction of buildings, with the implications that the quick industrialization is causing in the construction sector.
We expect a large participation of designers and architects in this theme, clearly showing all the benefits of the use of steel structures in the conception of large projects, such as simplicity, slenderness, brightness, etc..
The development of innovative products and techniques will be addressed.
The inclusion of this theme aims to highlight the benefits of the implementation of quality systems in order to avoid the problems and costs of non-quality.
This theme aims to highlight the significant role of the steel construction in the essential sector of energy, with emphasis on renewable energy and off-shore steel construction (sub-sea and surface).
It’s an innovative construction system, which in recent decades has contributed to the transformation of the construction sector. Extremely versatile, competitive and technologically advanced, it stands out for its structural efficiency and sustainability, offering numerous advantages over traditional structural materials such as concrete and wood. With increasingly wide application in residential and commercial projects, exploring modular solutions, this construction method combines high precision, execution speed and compatibility with different materials and construction technologies, promoting process automation and digitalization in the sector. The conference will explore its main advantages, strategies and good construction practices that guarantee superior performance, durability and energy efficiency, consolidating LSF as a solution of high strategic value in the context of sustainable and industrialized construction.
Facade engineering plays a crucial role in contemporary architecture, integrating aesthetics, energy efficiency and structural robustness. The conference will highlight innovative solutions for smart facades, including the use of versatile materials that adapt their properties in response to the environmental conditions, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings. The discussion will also explore sustainable strategies and the importance of cooperation between architects and engineers to ensure facades that balance innovative design with functionality and sustainability.
