In this masterclass, we will explore the significant impact of AI on various design disciplines, ranging

from education to practical architecture. Our goal is to address the following question: How can AI
serve as both a creative partner and a transformative tool, connecting the gap between learning and
real-world applications?

The Roadmap for the decarbonisation of the building industry, published by the GBCE in 2022, recognises the need to reduce CO2 emissions from the building sector by 89% if we are to stay on target toward a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.

This event explores the remarkable stories of cities around the world that have successfully recovered, focusing on how they are rebuilding and renovating themselves in the wake of disasters. Each path to a renewed urban vitality presents its own challenges and opportunities, revealing a wide range of innovative and sustainable recovery strategies. We will delve into these inspiring processes of urban resilience, highlighting diverse approaches to said rebuilding, which exemplify both local contexts and world-wide best practices. The presentation will be moderated by a UN-Habitat urban resilience expert and will conclude with a dynamic question and answer session, encouraging active participation and the exchange of ideas.

A Talent Job Marketplace is a networking space that brings together companies from the same sector and candidates for published job offers. On this occasion, the event will take place at the Construmat'25 Fair. Participating companies will present who they are, the values they stand for, and the profiles they are seeking—all related to the construction sector. Afterwards, they will conduct job interviews with candidates preselected by Barcelona Activa.

In this introductory course organized by CCAM and coordinated and conducted by WORLD WOOD FUTURE, we will focus on harmonic, stable, and regenerative architecture; we propose to open the door to a paradigm shift based on recovering the basic pillars of the constructive future: craftsmanship integrated into architecture, a synergy capable of containing beauty, authenticity, identity, functional intelligence, and kindness. Today we can unite these values thanks to the craft and the most recognized techniques, putting high technology and slow human talent into cooperation, where the hands of master craftsmen continuously converge, capable of providing efficient and healthy solutions to create special atmospheres, sincerity, and an enriching contrast in architectural works. In this course, we will give free rein to the empire of the senses, valuing detail and learning from harmonic environments, since after our architectural and craft past, we now have the duty to resume this valuable knowledge and the wisdom it generated.
