Lecture Series "Sustainable Building": Rethinking Materiality: Looking at Natural Resources alongside Human Resources

Transfer

In the joint lecture series "Sustainable Building" organised by the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and the Brandenburg Chamber of Architects, the 3rd event will focus on the potential of natural resources. Prof. Dr. Anupama Kundoo (FHP) will speak on the topic of "Rethinking materiality: Looking at natural resources alongside human resources".

Theresa Keilhacker (President of the Berlin Chamber of Architects), Andreas Rieger (President of the Brandenburg Chamber of Architects), Prof. Ulrich Schwarz (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development), molecular biologist Paul Dupree (University of Cambridge) and FHP students will meet on the podium and for the subsequent discussion. The evening will be opened by Prof. Dr. Eva Schmitt-Rodermund, President of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.

Climate-adapted and resource-saving urban development and building planning is necessary in order to build sustainably. This requires a high level of decision-making, planning and implementation expertise from all those involved. In addition to dealing with functional, structural and aesthetic tasks, planners must also master the growing and demanding requirements of building physics, construction technology, building ecology and climate protection.

A joint series of lectures on the topic of "Sustainable Building" has emerged from initiatives by the Brandenburg Chamber of Architects and students at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. The aim is to provide both current and potential architects with an advanced training programme. Interested students will gain differentiated insights into the practical professional aspects of sustainable construction.
