"Professor Giovanni Solari of the University of Genova has passed away.
His achievements and contributions in the fields of wind engineering and structural engineering were countless.
He was an advisory board member of our COE and GCOE programs for more than 10 years, and most recently, in 2019, he gave us a keynote speech at the International Workshop on Wind Effects on Buildings and Urban Environment held at TPU.
May Professor Solari rest in peace.
