Architecture: Sustainable + Circular
Sustainable architecture is way more than just a green facade. During the tour we look at examples that address different aspects of sustainability: ecological, affordable, community oriented housing, neighborhood gardens and experimental structures from recycled materials. Emphasized are re-uses and renovations as well as upcyclings including examples of circular architecture. We talk about saving and sharing resources as well as about adopting architecture and urban planning strategies to the diversity of modern life styles and demographic changes.
