Designing with future factors – from the plaza to the apartment building made of 100% reusable components
In his lecture, Daniel Baur, co-owner Bryum (Basel, Switzerland) and professor at Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland will highlight the problems associated with the implementation of climate challenges in the building and landscape sector, show how these targets can be implemented in a design-oriented way, explain how the architecture/landscape architecture profession needs to change, and demonstrate that resource-based landscape architecture has the same quality as designing and building with new resources.
About the Speaker
In 2022, Prof. Daniel Baur established the architecture studio Resource-Based Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Bern. Through this initiative and his work for Bryum, he demonstrates innovative design methods for creating architectural structures and open spaces entirely from 100% reusable components. He has built an extensive portfolio of work through his firm, Bryum.
L-x 2024: Landscapes Re-Used, Re-Cycled, Re-Interpreted
L-x, the international Landscape Lectures 2024, brings the current issues of landscape and material resources to the table. Four different positions will be presented from which landscape architects have developed contemporary responses in urban public spaces and landscapes at different scales. How can existing structures be re-used for or complemented by new landscapes at a time when the economical use of land is a high priority - both in terms of land scarcity as well as ecology and green space justice? How can landscape designs be based on the idea of material recycling? Which approaches for re-interpretation of open spaces and landscapes can be realized to add new meanings and at the same time tackle contemporary natural and social urgencies? In this series of lectures, landscape architects from four renowned firms in Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and France will present projects that provide a variety of answers to these questions.
