Jasna Moritz visited the Wissensstiftung at the Circle Cube in Offenbach and spoke to Christine Lemaitre (DGNB) and Bernhard Hauke (nbau) about circular construction and why sustainable architecture takes shape right from the very first planning decisions – from the choice of location, through the building’s structure and load-bearing framework, to flexible usage concepts.

The full interview, which is available to watch, offers fascinating insights into the future of sustainable planning.

Through ARKO, architects and engineers aim to work together to find solutions to the growing digital challenges in planning and construction.

The aim of the cooperative is to establish an independent, profession-led and fiduciary data infrastructure that protects the copyright and data sovereignty of designers, whilst also enabling common standards for digital design and construction.

We are delighted to be part of this journey from the very beginning and to actively support ARKO’s further development.

Many thanks to everyone involved for a successful launch. We look forward to the next steps!
