Building Culture Day 2024 at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam
On the 14th of September 2024, the Brandenburg Chamber of Engineers and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Planning are once again inviting people to the Day of Building Culture. Under the motto "Baukultur concerns us all", a varied programme will be offered throughout Brandenburg, focusing on the state's rich building culture. The University of Applied Sciences Potsdam will also be opening its doors and participating with various lectures and a campus tour.
The University of Applied Sciences Potsdam (FHP) is focusing on two topics on Building Culture Day: the development of its site on Kiepenheuerallee from a barracks to a place of teaching and learning and building culture in teaching and research.
Programme at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam
The first block in the morning (10.00 am – 12.00 pm) will focus on the development of the site to date. This is linked to questions such as: How is it possible to redesign and expand a site used for military purposes with barracks buildings, an armoured hall and an officers' mess in such a way that it meets the requirements of modern teaching? What other requirements arise from student life and interaction on the campus? How can this location be made accessible and integrated into the surrounding area? And last but not least: How does the FHP see itself in this context?
In the second block in the afternoon (1.00 pm – 3.00 pm), the FHP presents the Design ∙ Build ∙ Preserve profile line, in which researchers, teaching staff and students develop solutions for sustainable urban development, innovative urban planning, efficient planning and the preservation of buildings. The aim of the profile line is to jointly shape the future of the construction industry and work towards a sustainable and liveable environment for future generations. Lectures from this profile line will present selected aspects from the departments of CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE and Civil Engineering to the public.
