Michele Versaci will take part in the roundtable discussion Rethinking the Relationship with the Sea – Catania Between Urban Vision and Climate Resilience together with Paolo La Greca. Introduced by institutional greetings from the Mayor of Catania, the meeting will provide an opportunity to reflect on the role of urban planning in addressing the challenges posed by the climate crisis - from coastal risk and extreme weather events to sea-level rise - and will subsequently explore the theme of Catania’s waterfront through the main design areas developed by Park. In this context, Michele Versaci will discuss the role of urban design in shaping new scenarios of climate resilience and reconnecting the city with the sea.

Michele Versaci, Head of Research at Park, will participate in the 216th edition of Zak World of Façades Italy, organized by Wicona by Hydro. During the session in which he will speak, topics will include circularity in building envelope systems, with a focus on risks and opportunities for the real estate sector-ranging from asset value optimization to the transition toward new investment models. The discussion will also address the role of the architect in designing circular façades that combine architectural quality with market appeal. Particular attention will be given to the integration of reuse and recycling principles in façade engineering, as well as to the scalability of circular economy principles across the entire construction value chain.

Giacomo Geroldi, Project Director at Park, will deliver the talk “Redefining Hospitality: From Stay to Story” during the Hospitality Design Conference. The presentation will explore the increasingly fluid boundaries between hotels, homes, apartments, offices, and communities, outlining the emergence of a new era: that of “liquid hospitality.” In this context, what matters is no longer simply where one sleeps, but how the experience is lived. Contemporary hospitality goes beyond the traditional ideas of comfort, service, or mere accommodation: its value now lies in its ability to create authentic and meaningful experiences, deeply rooted in the identity of places. The talk therefore offers a reflection on hospitality as an act of listening - to the physical and natural context, to local culture, to history, and to traditions - elements that help shape how a destination is perceived and experienced.

Matteo Arietti, Head of Innovation, will take part in the talk “Generative Architecture. Algorithm, Material, and City in Dialogue,” a discussion that explores the generative process as a shared language between architecture, the city, and matter. How are algorithms and artificial intelligence - from topology optimization to generative diffusion - reshaping the way we design spaces, structures, and materials? The debate unfolds across three interrelated themes: urban regeneration as the intelligent subtraction of territory; bio-design, where form emerges from natural principles; and new materials, understood as a still-evolving space of possibilities. It brings together architecture studios, academic research, and technological innovation in a public discussion that will also be streamed online.
