This afternoon, the 4th edition of CIBARQ10 came to a close. Over the course of this two-day event, 300 architects, engineers and professionals came together in Pamplona with eminent international guest speakers such as Stephen Seltkowitz, Ken Yeang, Thomas Herzog and Iñaki Ábalos.

The closing ceremony was led by José Javier Armendáriz, Director General of CENER, and Florencio Manteca, Director of CIBARQ, who pointed out the high quality of the guest speakers and the ideas discussed at the forum, which at this latest edition aimed to advocate and promote low carbon cities. As at previous editions, CIBARQ10 put forward a series of issues to be discussed in relation to bioclimatism with a view to opening out the debate subsequently to society as a whole.
