The ReStart Digital 2020 project is a digital platform providing three days of meetings, networking, B2B and events where the natural stone community will have the chance to develop relationships within a global online format. During the digital event it’s possible to take part in the educational program known as Marmomac Academy, organized, for this special edition, in collaboration with the Iuav University of Venice and many other professionals of the sector, in both the technological and design field. This CPD will improve your understanding of:
- Physical/chemical properties of rocks and implications for the choice of stone materials
- Stone laying and installation, care and maintenance of natural stone material; processes and uses of the stone
- E-commerce in the stone sector; the Scandinavian marble market; North American stone market; the circular economy in the stone sector
- Stone applications in fashion and design: stereotomy and parametric in stone design; seriality in stone design
- Conservation and restoration techniques of buildings and stone claddings
- The potential and limits of quarries in terms of both production efficiency and sustainability

‘Designing with natural stone’ is an annual international architectural conference that is designed to help architects learn advanced techniques in the use of marble, granite and other stone materials. The program is a unique combination of classroom lectures, guided architectural tours, and field trips to local quarries, as well as to natural stone processing facilities. This comprehensive approach enables architects to better understand stone’s full life-cycle – including how marble is quarried, cut, processed, finished, selected for specific jobs and installed, all using the latest technologies and products.
