Vicenza, Italy, April 3-5, 2019 – Inspired by the University of Virginia’s Bicentennial, this conference explored the modern implications of Thomas Jefferson and Andrea Palladio’s shared interest in creating a salubrious environment through design – spaces that are both socially and physically healthful and equitable.
The meeting opened at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza on Wednesday, April 3. Attendees then moved to Villa Cordellina Lombardi, Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza, for Thursday and Friday. This location was selected because it represents the wellness principles of the conference and the region’s Palladian architecture.
Speakers include thought leaders in medicine and design from Europe and the US, including several UVA faculty: Phoebe Crisman, Elgin Cleckley, Louis Nelson, Mitch Rosner, William Sherman, and Richard Guy Wilson.
The conference is a collaboration of the University of Virginia Bicentennial, School of Architecture, and the UVA Health Systems, with the Università Degli Studi Di Padova, the Associazione Amici del Rene Vicenza, the International Renal Research Institute Vicenza, the Palladio Museum, and Regione del Veneto.
