Webinar

Friday 29 May 2026

Join Aliva for this webinar exploring how contemporary ventilated façade systems combine sustainability, performance, refurbishment potential, and architectural excellence.

This CPD webinar examines the integration of materials, substructures, and architectural expression in contemporary ventilated façade systems, informed by Italy’s design heritage.

The session will explore how rainscreen façades address key challenges in the built environment, including sustainable development, energy efficiency, and the application of advanced construction technologies. It will also consider the role of façade systems in the refurbishment and upgrade of existing building stock.

Attendees will gain an understanding of how a coordinated approach to façade design can enhance both performance and architectural quality.
