Symposium ‘Brennpunkt Alpines Bauen 2025'
Rethinking construction: innovative, circular, digital
The construction industry is facing profound challenges: the climate crisis, resource scarcity and technological upheavals are forcing us to rethink everything from planning and construction to demolition. The sensitive Alpine region in particular highlights the importance of responsible and future-oriented construction.
Initiatives such as New European Bauhaus point to possible ways forward and provide important impetus. The symposium brings together experts from the fields of planning, construction and technology to jointly and holistically shape the construction of tomorrow.
