On April 4,2023 International Design School of GTU hosted professor of the International Academy of Architecture, Honorary professor of GTU, Maltese architect Lino Bianco. At present he is the plenipotentiary ambassador of Malta to Romania. 

Prof. Bianco’s visit to Georgia was implemented in the framework of the Erasmus + program which allows European scholars to travel to European countries and share their experience gained during their professional carrier. 

Professor Lino Bianco gave a lecture on the topic "Designing for All". During a lecture Mr. Lino Bianco has revealed his vision to important and necessary themes for architects and designers, frequently facing them in their professional activity – inclusivity and resilient design solutions. Considering 17 sustainable development goals which were adopted during the Paris Climate Summit in 2015, particularly Goal No 11 which calls to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, this topic - Designing for All - becomes especially relevant today. The lecture aroused great interest of IDS students, which was evidenced by the overcrowded lecture hall.
