Tensinet Symposia
The TensiNet Symposium 2022 will be held at Nantes University. More information will follow soon.
The TensiNet Symposium 2019 “Softening the Habitats: Sustainable Innovations in Minimal Mass Structures and Lightweight Architectures” was held at POLIMI from 3th until 5th June 2019. It was a succesful edition!
Proceedings: The E-book contains 55 papers of a multi-form and multi-disciplinary kaleidoscopic set about theoretical and experimental research studies, professional jobs and industrial developments. They were selected through a complex and accurate blind review process, which was led by the TS19 scientific committee and then assigned three expert reviewers for each paper. Link E-book
