Lecturer Tobias Nusser uses real-world examples to show how an entire neighborhood can be designed to be climate-neutral, and what challenges and innovations one faces in energy planning.

We build because we have to build. We build a lot and we will build a lot more. Too much?
This is the question Prof. Jürgen Huber from the Civil Engineering program will address in his Lunch Lecture. He will provide insights into the effects of pop...

"Architecture for me is a tool to improve living conditions." - Presenter Anna Heringer became internationally known with the construction of the METI School in Rudrapur, Bangladesh, which she designed as her diploma thesis at the Art University o...

In the future, the linear planning process from planning, mass and cost determination via structural engineering verifications etc. will be extended by the LCA. Iteration because cost and building resource targets have not been met is time-consumi...

The building sector produces about 40% of waste and greenhouse gas emissions and consumes 60% of resources. As such, it is a major contributor to the ecological crisis. Radical change is absolutely necessary.

Many major projects in the recent past, such as the Stuttgart 21 project, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall in Hamburg, the City Tunnel in Leipzig, the North-South urban rail line in Cologne and also the 2nd main line in Munich, have seen significant cos...

The Solar Decathlon Europe is the first international student competition for regenerative housing. Prof. Dr. Karsten Voss teaches building physics and building technology in architecture at the University of Wuppertal and has already participated...

The fact that every prominent major project in Germany is subject to considerable delays is fatal in terms of external impact. But what is the reason for this?

The entry of LEDs into lighting design over the last decade offers the possibility to implement finely tailored lighting installations. In his Lunch Lecture, Prof. Michael Schmidt will use a number of project examples to demonstrate the high desig...

studioRAUCH always develops architecture from a conceptual process with the aim of acting in a fundamentally sustainable and resource-saving way.

Clay is a building material that is available almost everywhere and can be used in a variety of ways. Simple excavated material that is otherwise disposed of in landfills holds enormous potential for local construction in a closed cycle.
