The Seminar
Preliminary program
————— Monday, December 13th
The Seminar has been organised
in cooperation between Coventry
University and the University of
Genova with the aim of establishing a periodical opportunity for designers active in the world of
pleasure craft, both sailing and
motor.
The Seminar is addressed to
young graduates and professionals working on the design, research and production of pleasure
craft.
The present edition is particularly
addressed to the first phases of
the project, when ideas begin to fill
a “white paper”, concepts become
more and more real and need to
meet technical principles.
People interested in this Seminar
are kindly invited to contact the
Organizing Committee for any information and support.
All contributions will be presented
in English.
