The built environment as a place of cohabitation – What can architecture contribute to the preservation of biodiversity?
This is the core question of the “Architecture + Biodiversity” symposium – an interdisciplinary exchange with a pioneering character.
Urban areas have long been regarded as hotspots of biodiversity. Buildings are important habitats for many animal species. Building responsibly therefore not only means designing climate-friendly urban development. Today, architects can play a key role in promoting biodiversity through the design of buildings.
Together with architects and leading scientists, we discussed what an ecologically sustainable building culture could look like:
- What solutions and best practice examples already exist?
- What hurdles still stand in the way of interspecies-based architecture and how can they be overcome?
The all-day, free symposium took place on September 27 from 09:00 to 17:00 at the German Architecture Center (DAZ) and virtually and was aimed at architects, project developers, building owners, housing companies and other interested parties. You can find the program
