Julia Tophof, graduate architect and co-founder of the Berlin office HemprichTophof Architekten, talks about architectural concepts that are developed from the location and characterised by a clear, timeless design.

The lecture will centre on the question of how sustainable and high-quality architecture can be created through a strong concept that takes place and time into account.

"The aim of our work is to give each project an identity appropriate to the place and time and to create sustainable and high-quality architecture through a strong and timeless concept." (Julia Tophof)
