In the setting of the Panoramic Room of the Livorno Aquarium and in live streaming, MGI promotes a work shop dedicated to Architects aimed at deepening the characteristics and methods of use of MARBLE in Architecture. After the institutional greetings of Marco Niccolini, President of the PPC Architects Order of Livorno, Paolo Agonigi, CEO of the MGI Group and Daniele Menichini, President of In / Arch Toscana, Architect Giovanni Giorgi will give a lecture on the most suitable approach to design and use marble at its best, between classic and contemporary. An in-depth study on the concept of environmental sustainability will be handled by Jan Knikker, since 2008 in MVRDV, where as a Partner, he directs the development and public relations activities, forming a customer-oriented, fast and strategic studio that includes a strong team. Founded in Rotterdam, the studio has been active since 1993 at an international level in every architectural and urban planning sector, with a mission oriented towards participatory planning, which involves clients, stakeholders and professionals who interact from the earliest stages of the creative process.
The goal is a choral reflection on the use of marble in design, as well as understanding how innovative ways can be used to contribute to widespread application, also in relation to a sustainable use of natural resources. The meaning of the word "marble" which derives from the Greek marmaros and literally means "shining stone" already contains in a nutshell the great potential of this material used since ancient times.
