Build: from high to low tech, 2nd edition
We’r Back!
As it was already established for the first edition, the building industry has a significant impact on the environment and without great transformations on both design strategies and building techniques the world climate ambitions will be compromised. According to the World Green Building Council, building and construction are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world.
After the great experience of the first edition in 2022, it was clear that to tackle this situation, we need to make use of two distinct, yet complementary, ways to take action. The solution to this problem seems to be through the use of both technologically advanced methods of architecture, as well as the reintroduction of vernacular construction methods in the practice of architecture. New technologies of digital fabrication, digital design and AI can be accompanied by ancient sustainable construction techniques such as rammed earth, bamboo and hemp fiber.
In the second edition of build- from High to Low tech, we will bring new names to the panels, that will enrich the already gathered knowledge on the previous edition. As it already happened in 2022, the event open to the public both on site and online, will allow the viewers to learn from world renowned designers and learn how high-quality architecture can mitigate the impacts of climate change and deal with the industry evolution.
In addition to the panels, this second edition will also count with showcases of materials and manufacturers related with the thematics of sustainability.
This way, we intend to bring architects closer to the solutions.
