The Teatro dei Rinnovati played host to a day full of excellent debate and thought-provoking papers within which participated our architect Jon Greenfield, music director Ondřej Macek and CEO Paul Atkin.

 

 

The theme of the study day was: “Performing arts buildings on the test of sustainability: challenges, perspectives, methods”.
