Marmomacc Stone Academy accepting applications for "Designing with Natural Stone 2014"
VERONA, ITALY -- The 16th edition of Marmomacc Stone Academy's "Designing with Natural Stone" will run from September 22 to 27, 2014 in Verona, Italy, in conjunction with Marmomacc, the world's leading trade show for stone and related design and technologies. More than 250 U.S. architects have participated in previous editions of the course. Scholarship applications for this year's course will be accepted until July 15th.
Veronafiere offers this course 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 lifecycle -- including how marble is quarried, cut, processed, finished, selected for specific jobs and installed, all using the latest technologies and products.
