Building Culture-Dialogue
"Building Culture-Dialogue – Living building culture and climate protection" is a series of events in cooperation with various actors from Brandenburg. Current structures and how they can be changed for more sustainable building are discussed.
?Building Culture Dialogue – Living Building Culture and Climate Protection“ series of events
For decades, building legislation, the construction industry and vocational training were primarily oriented towards new construction. But in view of the high shares of energy, material and land consumption, waste generation and greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry, a reorientation is inevitable. Instead of demolition and new construction, repair, conversion and further construction, the rediscovery of resource-saving building materials and techniques and the densification of our city and village centres are coming to the fore.
In order to scientifically promote the necessary development in the building industry, the degree programmes in architecture and urban planning, conservation and restoration, civil engineering and building preservation at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam have founded the profile line "Design ? Build ? Preserve". In a dialogue on building culture with guests from politics, building practice, science and with students, we ask: Where do funding programmes and building laws need to be adapted to create a new culture of building on? How can the building industry be transformed? And how do we prepare for the new tasks in higher education?
"Building Culture Dialogue - Living Building Culture and Climate Protection" is a series of events in cooperation with Kulturland Brandenburg, the supporters' association Baukultur Brandenburg, the Architekten- und Ingenieurverein zu Berlin Brandenburg, the Brandenburg chamber of architects and the Brandenburg chamber of engineers.
Registration is required for the events.

Information & events on the topic of climate-friendly construction
Sustainable building is a very broad subject area and encompasses much more than just energy efficiency or the choice of suitable materials. The inclusion of all users and decision-makers in the design process and the needs analysis is just as much a part of it as the consideration of the existing resources in their entire life cycle and the intelligent further use of the existing building stock and its infrastructures.
The Sustainable Building page provides information about the (past) events and offers further links on the topic. The next event will take place on 11th of October 2023 under the title "What to do about the progressive sealing of land – the "sponge city" principle".
Cooperation partners
The event series has been developed in cooperation with various actors from Brandenburg. Without them, this series of events would not be possible in this format. Many thanks.
Brandenburg as a cultural state
Kulturland Brandenburg, an umbrella brand of the Brandenburgische Gesellschaft für Kultur und Geschichte gGmbH, invites visitors to discover Brandenburg's cultural and regional diversity as well as its historical heritage with a new theme every year. The current theme "Living Building Culture – Brandenburg as a Land of Culture 2023" deals with the question of how people want to live in Brandenburg in the future and how the building cultural heritage can be included in this.
