Following on from last year’s extraordinary success, Cersaie 2010 is repeating Building Dwelling Thinking, the cultural event held in the Architecture Gallery that is both a meeting venue and an opportunity for debate on key issues of building and materials. The International Exhibition of Ceramic Tiles and Bathroom Furnishings, the 28th edition of which will begin in Bologna on Tuesday 28 September 2010, confirms its role as an important appointment for the Italian and international design world.  

This year’s edition of Building Dwelling Thinking will explore the issue of Climate Change, the general theme behind the entire conference programme which will investigate changes occurring both at a general level and in the specific areas of Environment, Society and Culture. The theme areas that will be addressed in 2010 concern architectural design, trends in interior design, and the use of materials, particularly ceramic tiles.  

First held at Cersaie 2009, Building Dwelling Thinking was attended by more than 4,000 professionals and featured 18 conferences and seminars held during the five days of the show. Alongside one of the most important cultural events organised in Italy in 2009 – the Renzo Piano Keynote Address held on 1 October in the Palazzo dei Congressi of BolognaFiere – other outstanding conferences were given by Michele De Lucchi, Stefano Boeri, Aldo Cibic, Jan Davis, Fulvio Irace, Franco La Cecla, Italo Rota, Aldo Schiavone and Luigi Zoja, to mention just a few of the speakers.  

Complete videos of these wide-ranging and in-depth discussions together with interviews with key players continue to be visible on the dedicated sub homepages of the website www.cersaie.it.
