Frontiers of Circular Architecture
How can we use design and architecture to fight climate change and build a livable future?
June 9, 2022 at 13.00 – 18.00
Maison de la Poste, Rue Picard 5/7, Brussels
Together with Laudes Foundation and four Nordic initiatives focusing on sustainable construction, Nordic Sustainable Construction will host an event focusing on the role of architecture in mitigating climate change at the New European Bauhaus Festival in Brussels in June.
Frontiers of Circular Architecture will invite architects, urban designers, policymakers, influencers and gamechangers and interested citizens to discuss perspectives and conditions in the EU for driving the culture change that will nurture the needed shift towards sustainable and circular construction for a carbon-neutral welfare society.
On the 9th of June, the event will seek to uncover the question “How can we use design and architecture to fight climate change and build a livable future?”
Through inspiration from high-end speakers, panel debates, performances, and moderated dialogues, we will explore perspectives around the role of design and architecture in driving the shift towards the sustainable, circular, and livable construction of the future.
Meet Sinus Lynge, Architect, Urban planner, founding partner at EFFEKT, Iines Karkulahti, Architect, VAPAA Collective, Maya Faerch, Senior Programme Manager, Laudes Foundation and Louise Kjellerup Roper, CEO of Volans who will bring perspectives on architecture and business as drivers for sustainable change.
The discussions will be supported aesthetically by modern dance as well as theatre performance – and of course the cocktail party will be framed by mood setting musical experience.
We will end the event with the launch party for the Joint Nordic NEB Action – Nordic Building Blocks for the New European Bauhaus!
The event is hosted in joint collaboration between the following five initiatives:
Nordic building blocks for the New European Bauhaus, Joint Nordic NEB Action
Nordic Networks for Circular Construction a Project of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Program for a digital built environment by the Green Building Council Finland
LIFE for LCA, LCC, IAQ Level(s) The project is funded through the Life instrument and it is a collaboration between eight European GBCs (Finland, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Netherlands, Ireland, Germany).
