Interior Design & Architecture Conference: eso 2023

2023 ESO Conference for architecture and design will take place for the eleventh time in a row at Alexandra Trianti Hall, Megaron Athens Concert Hall under the general theme “Multiverse” suggesting the coexistence of multiple diverse forms of physical and artificial life.

This year’s theme, “Multiverse”, further bridges theories on the ongoing change with their first consequences on the fields of architecture, design and arts. “Multiverse” signifies a range of diverse environments, responding to human needs and moving beyond them, including other forms of physical and artificial life. “Multiverse” suggests multiple coexisting environments.
