Chairmen

The management of the 2 thematic rooms has been entrusted to university academics who are experts in the subjects.
The teachers, whom we thank for their precious collaboration, are also part of the Scientific Committee, charged with evaluating the research projects presented.
Prof. Marco Imperadori

Politecnico Milano
Efficient Cities

University Full Professor, researcher and designer, Marco Imperadori, focuses his interests in high energy-efficient buildings, Structure/Envelope Building Systems and in general Sustainability. He is Msc and PhD in Building Engineering but he likes to act as an Architect, as his background results of a mixture of both these complementary aspects of building design. He was Lecturer and Visiting Professor in many Universities and Institutions worldwide. Since 2015 he is Visiting Professor at USJ Macau (China). Author of scientific publications and essays, his work was published in many books and magazines.
Imperadori founded in 1998, with Valentina Gallotti, Atelier 2, design studio placed in Milan, where he applied experimental and academic research projects in practice, winning national and international awards and prizes. He directed the studio until 2016.
He is currently Rector's Delegate for the Far East representing Politecnico di Milano in Asia. Scientific coordinator of the international prize Compasso Volante since the beginning he's also funder, with José Luis de Sales Marques and Carlos Marreiros, of ACE- Architecture Culture Environment seminars in Macau.
He was responsible for Politecnico di Milano in the building Resilience Network Android (EU-LLP). He is member of Fondazione Pesenti board, former member of CasaClima scientific committee, member of Promozione Acciaio sustainability committee and scientific consultant of FederlegnoArredo, and member of ISTeA (Italian Society of Science, Technology and Engineering of Architecture) board. He represents Politecnico di Milano in the Active House Alliance.
Recently he has been awarded The Beautiful Mind 2016 by FARM Cultural Park, and is a member of the Scientific Committee if the School of Architecture for Children SOU in Favara. With Ginette Caron, he was awarded the GRAND PRIX DU DESIGN 2018 in Canada. He is the scientific consultant of Arte Sella in relation with the architectural installations and Honorary Consultant of CAC - Círculo dos Amigos da Cultura de Macau (since 2019).
