Hello Everyone:
I would like to draw your attention to a public online course at ETH Zurich. The event language will be English.
Scaling up bio-based construction!
I have the pleasure of giving a 30-minute presentation on the development of straw-based construction in Germany, including latest large multi-storey projects.
After further inputs from Bjorn Kierulf, Andrea Akchoti, Guillaume Habert, there will be a discussion on the future perspectives of bio-based construction.
The discussion will be moderated by: Arnaud Evrard (ETH Zurich) and Fabian Hoermann (The Real Deal).
This event is co-organised by ETH Zurich / Chair of Sustainable Construction and by
The Real Deal - Post-Fossil Construction for Game Changers in the framework of the
CAS ETH in Regenerative Materials - Essentials.
You can join online via zoom.
