Recording: Does concrete // in a sustainable world // have a future ?
Watch the full recording of our Symposium on Sustainable Construction at BAU2023 here. -
Thanks for ‘Does concrete // in a sustainable world // have a future ?’
See some impressions (and shortly also the recording) of the event here. We would like to sincerely thank all those involved in the event for their commitment and organisational efforts, for the great conversations and new connections that were created at and through the symposium at BAU2023 trade fair. -
KIT Material Library goes BAU2023
At this year's BAU World's Leading Trade Fair for Architecture, Materials, Systems in Munich from April 17 to 22, 2023, the KIT Material Library of the Faculty of Architecture is presented. -
Contribution to Resource-Saving Construction
Sand is the most heavily traded solid resource in the world, with human consumption of the material estimated at 50 billion metric tons per year – and that figure is rising. Sand can be found in concrete, bricks, glass, roads, insulation and solar installations, among other applications. -
Does concrete // in a sustainable world // have a future ?
In this event, we would like to stimulate a discourse on the current problems in the use of concrete, the current and future possibilities of recycling old concrete into new concrete, as well as new application concepts and production formulations for concrete. -
NEWood
100% bio-based, sustainable and recyclable: NEWood is one of those alternative building materials that could have a special significance for the radical turnaround in the construction sector. -

Sneak Peek – Working on the Materials
Not only the space of the material library is currently being rebuilt and restructured. The contents of the material library are also being sorted, structured, edited and documented by the material library team at the same time. -
Team RoofKIT wins the Solar Decathlon Europe 21/22 in Wuppertal
Designed as a top-up to an existing structure of the 19th century in the old city fabric, the project designed and built by KIT students demonstrates a vision for the building industry: social adequate, energy positive and circular sustainable. -
Podcast sustain.build.repeat.
Many exciting speakers were guests at the 2022 sustain.build.repeat symposium, which was held at the ZKM and livestreamed under the management of PINK Event Service. The event was organized by the KIT Professorship of Sustainable Construction with the kind support of Wacker Chemie AG. In order to revisit the contents of the symposium, a podcast was recorded in cooperation with Campusradio Karlsruhe.
