At the heart of a transition to a green and digital future, sustainable architecture takes on a crucial role in shaping and giving meaning and beauty to ongoing evolutions. Mobility is transforming towards shared, interconnected, and electric models. At the same time, decarbonization processes and the circular economy are revolutionizing industry and supply chain dynamics. In the context of limited resources, the redesign of products is imperative. This redesign aims to orient them towards greater durability, repairability, and reuse.
