The House of the Earth: Panel discussion with the Federal Association of German Architects (BDA) and the German Society for Sustainable Building (DGNB) on the subject of:
Construction as a material resource.
It is no longer acceptable to demolish buildings without prior consideration having been given to the ecological value of the resources contained therein. Why? Many of the parts and materials used in old buildings are suitable for recycling in new building projects and thus not only avoid the resource-hungry production of new building materials but also reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of. Representatives of BDA and DGNB discuss the subject of construction as a material resource with representatives of Hansa and Villeroy & Boch.
Chair: Dr. Thomas Welter, Managing Director BDA.
Against the background of ever-greater climate change, the BDA has initiated a discussion about responsible architecture and about a new social narrative with
‘The House of the Earth’, a position paper for climate-oriented architecture in the town and country.
