The School of Bridge Design in Ecampus, Como, Italy

A school of bridge design was founded more than twenty years ago at IUAV University of Architecture in Venice by Prof. Enzo Siviero. The group of researchers involved, mostly phd doctors, were active in bridge design, research on structural architecture, promotion of international conferences and finally on didactics.

During the years the course of ‘Theory and design of bridges' has been chosen by more than 1000 students and was among the most appreciated modules of IUAV University. In year 2009, the course was held in parallel with Tongji University of Shanghai, thanks to an agreement between the professors in charge, which lead to an exchange of students during the academic year.

The scientific approach to the design of bridges, taught to students of architecture, lead to extremely interesting results: many structures were designed joining aesthetics, innovation, structural feasibility and economy of realization.

The aforementioned experiences will be used to establish a new school of bridge design at the university Uniecampus in Novedrate (Como, Italy), with the goal to create an hub for bridge design, conference organization and a venue for international exhibitions.
