PROGRAMME AND AGENDA

Purpose of the workshop is to exchange ideas on the global topic of the quality of the built environment that results from architectural activities with a holistic approach and to benefit from the views and experiences of the ACE Work Groups work programmes and actions, and also to exchange with other Organisations and explore opportunities for concrete cooperation with them.
The additional purpose is to coordinate activities and to identify the potential for cross-fertilisation of the activities undertaken within the respective WG work programmes in this Thematic Area and maybe also in others, and also to enhance such cross-fertilisation with the UIA and Eurocities relevant working units.
Invited to the meeting are the members of the ACE Work Groups: Environment and Sustainable Architecture, Urban Issues, Housing, and representatives of the relevant UIA Work Programmes and Working Groups, “Eurocities” (Working Groups Urban Issues and Urban Regeneration) and Cecodhas (Social Housing Observatory).
The meeting will take place at Santiago de Compostela on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 of June. It is kindly hosted by Teresa Taboas, Chair of the ACE Housing Work Group and the Venue will be the Hotel AC Palacio del Carmen where accommodation will also be secured (see registration form).
The actual Workshop will start at 10.00 on Friday and it will end at 13.30 on Saturday, so that participants can travel in on Friday morning and leave on Saturday afternoon if they wish.
