FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM STEEL STRUCTURES 2010

摘要

Steel became an unrivalled structural material in the 20th Century throughout the world; and the most recent century seemingly will be the age of structures considering steel of prime importance. Istanbul has been selected as Cultural Capital of Europe for the year 2010, where in the same year also the Annual Meetings of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) will be held. Both important events give the opportunity and mission to organize and announce a Symposium for architects, structural engineers, designers, steel fabricators and builders as well as urban psychologists, social planners and environmentalists to discuss new horizons on steel structuring in its relation to our present culture, giving way to a new European vision for a better and sustainable future.
