Luma Eco Days #2 : Building with Nature

"Building on a lifelong involvement for the protection of nature and an on-going engagement to restore it whenever possible, I have envisioned Luma Arles at the Parc des Ateliers as a place of creative and sustainable development that encourages free expression and actions that address and contribute to the common good."

Maja Hoffmann, December 2019

The Luma Eco Days aims to bring together in Arles once a year, local and international experts to discuss ecological and economic issues with conferences, workshops and convivial moments. 

During the first edition, in December 2019, experts and different stakeholders were invited to think and work together on a common agenda around waste and energy. 

For this second edition entitled Building with Nature the Luma Eco Days are holding two different events : the Algae Summit, directly accessible to all on the Luma Arles site, and the New practices in building, open by registration.
