Lecture description
Keynote Presentation: What we build today still has to work tomorrow. But how often do we actually decide with that in mind? As managing director of a third-generation family business, Gerda Söhngen knows first-hand where long-term decisions lead. She works with products and principles her grandfather once stood for, and wants to make decisions the next generation can still stand behind. Using the example of the ventilated rainscreen façade, she shows why climate protection and climate adaptation demand more than new materials: proven designs, reliable fixings and buildings that can be used and adapted over decades. A personal talk on when a decision is truly sustainable.
