Abstract:
The “Pier Luigi Nervi – Art and Science of Building” Exhibition was displayed for the first time in North America at The ACI Concrete Convention and Exposition – Fall 2016 in Philadelphia, PA. The exhibition included 20 large panels with images and text, as well as videos on Nervi’s life and works. Located at the center of the convention activities, the Nervi Exhibition was seen and studied by almost 2000 convention attendees. The exhibition will be hosted next by the University of Miami, Miami, FL.
