Bioclimatic Actions

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Cities and regions are exposed to heavy rainfall and overheating. Moisture intrusion, flooding and large temperature fluctuations put strain on the building fabric. Health risks, e.g. from heat, are increasing. So how can we respond to such extremes in terms of construction to make cities and buildings more resilient? The HDA - House of Architecture has organised two workshops on this topic with young European architects from the EU-funded LINA Fellowship Programme and students from the University of Stuttgart.

The aim of the project, conceived by Beate Engelhorn, was to find innovative, practical approaches and solutions by researching and combining traditional building forms with the latest findings from current research in the field of construction and materials - in other words, to bring together the 'best of all times'. The common basis is the use of materials that conserve resources and the possibilities for energy-saving handling in the production of buildings.
