The July Late Lunch session, in English, features Ben Pohl, Urban Design Researcher at denkstatt sàrl. His talk focuses on the enormous potential of the climate-friendly conversion of existing buildings into vibrant neighborhoods. He will show how circular planning processes and the careful and creative use of existing buildings and materials can achieve socially and economically attractive results in the long term.
The popular Late Lunch webinars from our Patron Members natureplus continues throughout 2024 with a focus on using sustainable building materials to renovate and repurpose existing buildings.
The continued use of the existing building stock is essential to meet the required targets for climate and resource protection. Throughout the series, natureplus invites experts to discuss the different ways of achieving this.
