IASS 2025
Call for Workshops

Conference organized by the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) · Faculty of Architecture

IMPORTANT: Extended date for submissions: March 24, 2025

The IASS 2025 Symposium Chairs look forward to receiving proposals for workshops that address the symposium theme of “The living past as a source of innovation”. Workshops will be held in person at the Palacio de Mineria in downtown Mexico City on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Workshops may be proposed for either a full day (divided into morning and afternoon sessions) or a half day (afternoon session only). Fees collected for workshops will cover material costs and catering for the workshop day. However,  no compensation will be provided for tutor costs or expenses.

Since participants will be students, we aim to keep workshops affordable and minimize associated costs.
