Circular Strategies Symposium 2

Optimization or Versatility?
Circular Strategies Symposium 2
Institut für Architektur

Responsible use of resources is an essential aspect of a future-oriented building culture. This means continuing to use existing buildings for as long as possible and radically reusing components and materials. But what about the building stock of tomorrow - how can we design new structures intelligently? Should we follow the principle of reduction to achieve the intended purpose with minimal material means? Or should we rather risk a certain degree of redundancy to gain robustness in the face of changing conditions?
