Lecture by Gerhard Wittfeld on November 11, 2023 at AKJAA 30 – FOREVER YOUNG.

 

The Association of German Architects invites you to the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Working Group Young Architects of the BDA in the Projekttheater Dresden.

 

The title of the event stands on the one hand for the constant renewal of the members of the AKJAA by the younger generation in the BDA, and on the other hand also for the fact that a rebellious element accompanies our advocacy of good architecture – regardless of the question of age. Together, the former and active members of AKJAA are asking themselves if rebellion will keep them forever young.

 

In line with the question, Gerhard Wittfeld will give a lecture at 18h30 entitled “I was young and needed the money – reflection on the ideals of my youth”, in which he will reflect on his career with the help of some project examples.

“The City of Tomorrow – Urban Transformation” – Panel discussion with Kilian Kada on October 25, 2023 at DESIGNING THE FUTURE SUMMIT 2023.

What, how, when, why and where do we want to develop, plan, build and operate in the future? And which products, materials, processes and qualities should be used in the process?

These are the central questions of this year’s DESIGNING THE FUTURE initiative, which will culminate in the Circular Design, Building and Construction Summit in Berlin on October 25 and 26, 2023.

Here, the interdisciplinary dialogue on design, process, material, building, construction and design will be used to discuss approaches to solutions for sustainable building and real estate developments.

Recommendations for the building of tomorrow will be formulated from the processes of creation, circularity and the various construction methods.

In the panel discussion on October 25, 2023 from 11h30 to 11h45, Kilian Kada will highlight, among other things, the correct use of existing substance, how to look for and harness potential in the context of reprogramming, and the social impact that a house can have on its surroundings.
