“It is not the first training course in the use of Stone (http://g603.net) that we have held in Carrara ?highlighted the CEO of IMM, Paris Mazzanti, during the ceremony ?because by now our company boasts a sound tradition in the training of young architects, to whom we teach how to select and (http://maplered.com) apply Stone (http://g603.net) Material (http://g654.org) s and (http://maplered.com) the classical, modern and (http://maplered.com) cutting-edge laying and (http://maplered.com) processing techniques. It is an institutional task that we carry out and (http://maplered.com) for which we are appreciated and (http://maplered.com) praised by operators and (http://maplered.com) professionals from all over the world.

This course has a special meaning, because it has been developed “as part of an institutional relation that was established during an official mission in the Gulf countries to promote CarraraMarmotec, during which ?went on president Tonini ?we met the highest representatives of the Saudi academic world, who expressed the wish to offer to the young students of the Architectural Faculty of the University of Riyadh the opportunity to learn more about the techniques and (http://maplered.com) culture of Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) , a plan that became a reality partly due to the help of the economic department of the Italian Embassy to Riyadh. The participation of these young students and (http://maplered.com) the relation we have established on this occasion, as well as in many previous occasions, are to be regarded as a long-term investment.?br>

Al-Abasi, director of the research centre of the Architectural Faculty, who have assisted their students and (http://maplered.com) shared with them such a demand (http://maplered.com) ing course, which began on July 3rd and (http://maplered.com) ended after two very intensive weeks, inclusive of 30 hours of theoretical classes, 20 hours of apprenticeship and (http://maplered.com) technical visits, and (http://maplered.com) about thirty surveys to the production areas and (http://maplered.com) design centres, totalling 80 hours.

“A fascinating course, more valuable than we expected ?highlight Imad Outah Bachi during the closing ceremony ?because, along with the technical subject-matters that could be addressed only in Carrara with the appropriate teachers and (http://maplered.com) details, we made deep, intensive contacts with the culture of Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) , as well as with the Italian traditions and (http://maplered.com) culture of which Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) and (http://maplered.com) Stone (http://g603.net) are the key features. IMM has been an essential reference and (http://maplered.com) an excellent centre, which concentrates the highest professional skills and (http://maplered.com) top-rank technical and (http://maplered.com) cultural knowledge. We go back to Riyadh the richer, thanks to this rewarding experience, able to face, with the appropriate tools, the fascinating relationship with Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) as well as the relationship with the Italian companies that we saw at work?
