Yacht Design Lab – Live streaming

As in the Renaissance era, “at the workshop” of the professional to acquire not only the theory, but the design method, the tricks of the trade, and the sensitivity needed to design the only means of transport that moves between two fluids, air and water. A special workshop, attentive to the environment and the use of eco-sustainable technologies, to educate the contemporary naval architect in the field, a professional figure midway between technician and artist. Yacht design has always been an object of desire that represents an ambitious lifestyle and the ultimate expression of technical performance and beauty.
