The workshop “Beyond the square and the X” organized by the eminent IUAV University of Venice on the 8th of February was a great success for the architecture students and the experts of the lift industry. The aim of the workshop was to discuss together about the integration of elevators in buildings design.

Wittur took part at this appreciated initiative as main sponsor and invited speaker presenting the workshop: “Elevator and architectural design: enhancing aesthetics, energy efficiency, comfort and safety”. Wittur, by showing amazing solutions realized so far, wanted to prove how the elevator can be the aesthetical focus of a building though respecting current regulations.

Among other involving workshops, Dr. Fabrizio Nicoli, ANICA president (National Industries Association for Lift Components ) made for the students an interesting introduction to the elevator working principles and Fabio Liberali, Publishing Manager of the European elevator magazine “Elevatori” made a relevant analysis of the Italian lift market and of its opportunities.
