Closer to Nature

About

Where humans build, nature is destroyed. This dilemma is becoming increasingly clear in view of finite resources and the enormous contribution that construction contributes to global warming. Three Berlin projects show how opponents can become teammates. To do this, interdisciplinary teams rely on the potential of mushrooms, trees and clay using the latest technologies. Your buildings gain an ecological quality from the green materials, but also a completely new character: they breathe, grow and therefore come to life themselves. The surprisingly sensual experience of this architecture creates a conscious relationship with our environment and can therefore have a lasting effect that goes beyond the material. In the exhibition, expansive installations make this tangible. In addition, sketches, plans, photographs and models explain the three approaches and designs for a future-oriented building culture.
