The second installment in our discussion series “Innen.Stadt.Leben.” took place on Thursday, January 27, 2022, under the banner “Ecological sustainability of cities and urban densification.” The evening event organized by caspar. and ANCB/Aedes was live streamed from ANCB’s premises in Berlin.
Forty percent of global CO2 emissions are attributable to the construction sector, meaning that architecture also bears a special responsibility for the climate crisis. What technologies, methods, and materials are or will be available for sustainable architecture? Can we simultaneously promote more density and more unsealed, public open and green spaces? Should we practice horizontal or vertical densification? How green can a high-rise actually be?
