Panel Discussion 'Constructive Futures'
6 PM
In collaboration with the FHNW Institute of Architecture
In line with the exhibition 'Beton' at the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum and the overarching design theme 'Constructive Futures - Beyond Concrete' at the Institute of Architecture, the FHNW campus in Muttenz will host a panel discussion in which experts from architecture and the construction industry will consider the future of concrete. The discussion will focus on topics such as the emergence of a new design culture, motivated by questions of construction and demonstrating new ways of dealing with building materials; the responsibility that the construction industry bears for causing the climate crisis; and the development of new technologies for concrete that consume fewer resources, emit less carbon dioxide, and even capture some of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Simon Wiedemann (Head of Solutions & Products at Holcim) and Andrea Klinge (of ZRS Architekten Ingenieure, Berlin, and newly appointed professor of circular construction at the FHNW) will kick off the event with input presentations, which will be followed by a panel discussion with two students and an assistant at the Institute of Architecture moderated by Andreas Ruby, Director of the S AM.
Location: Aula, FHNW Campus Muttenz
The event will be broadcast live on Zoom. The recording will be available afterwards on the YouTube channels of the Institute of Architecture FHNW and the S AM.
