BASIC PRINCIPLES AND AIMS OF THE CONGRESS:

The objective of the congress is to collect and compare scientific information about the cultural and spatial significance of domes for men, societies and cultural landscapes in different cultural environments, past and present, their building concepts and interpretations, their building traditions and techniques, their conservation / restoration and their contemporary building as a basis for further development of integrated heritage work (planning, education, tourism, conservation etc.).

The idea at the basis of “Domes in the World” is to give a substantial contribution tointercultural dialogue through an international and interdisciplinary congress aimed at highlighting the significance of domes and their symbolic value from the perspective of different cultures.

A high scientific profile allowed the participants to assess the present situation of domes, to debate, compare and elaborate their interpretation, to define appropriate uses and the protection of the extensive patrimony of domes existing in the world. The architectural conservation of domes and their material and conceptual significance wasl also addressed.
