On the site of the former racetrack, the soccer fields, sports facilities and new building of the DFB with its academy are embedded in the pre-existing Frankfurt city forest. Within this green framework, which functions as a natural buffer to the surroundings, the interplay of built spaces, sports fields, densely wooded areas, and small plazas and clearings forms a common campus.
We are happy about the DFB’s move-in and the related ceremonial opening!

More about the project and in the article of the FAZ.

 

On the “Day of Architecture” June 19th, our Hotel at Erzbergerufer in Bonn is one of 139 objects!

We are looking forward to your visit.

BDA colloquium on the need to think in cycles and on the new circular economy law and regulations emanating from the EU that will change the practice of building. Tim Danner (kadawittfeldarchitektur), Ute Dechantsreiter (Bundesverband bauteilnetz Deutschland e.V.), Jeroen Meissen (Partner und Partner Architekten), Eva Stricker (ZHAW Zurich), Franziska Albrecht (Madaster) and Marc Matzken (heimspiel architekten) will discuss the questions:

What can architects* do to be prepared? What contribution can they make to promote the change towards responsible building?

The event will include sufficient time for discussion. Four continuing education points will be recognized by the AKH for attending the event.

Exhibition in the context of Architekturtage 21/22 at Architekturhaus Salzburg.

The exhibition, created in cooperation with the Mozarteum University, deals with the spatial aspects of the current discourse on education. The focus is on a reflection on the interaction of learning and space, artistic interpretations set impulses and stimulate reflection.

The Hallein Special Education Center by kadawittfeldarchitektur is also part of the exhibition.

The opening is on June 9th with Roman Höllbacher (Initiative Archtitektur), Martina Berthold (Salzburg City Councilor), Carina Alterdinger (lecturer at the Department of Stage Design) and students of the Mozarteum University. Exhibition with workshops and children and youth program will be from June 10th – August 5th.

Jasna Moritz will be speaking at the Sustainability Congress on June 13th titled “Thinking the future – building sustainably” about the necessary contributions of the building sector to achieve the climate goals. In her keynote speech on circular construction, she will highlight the extent to which the C2C principle is suitable for mass use and can also be applied to large-scale residential construction projects, using MORINGA as an example.

The congress is jointly organized by the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs (BBSR) and Spatial Development and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction (BMWSB).

“Green and nothing but green! The Aesthetics of Architecture with an Ecological Claim.”

Technical developments have always been closely linked to the shape of architecture. But how do the demands for ecologically appropriate architecture and the demand for sustainability affect the shape of architecture? Is the green facade the ornament of the beginning 21st century? Which images correspond to an ecological, sustainable architecture? What is the relationship between technology and design today?

 

Joining us for this evening are:

Sabine Djahanschah, German Federal Foundation for the Environment

Prof. Dr. Eike Musall, Professor for Building Performance at the Peter Behrens School of Architecture PBSA Düsseldorf

“Architecture requires dialogical work, with clients*, users*, experts from industry and general public and open-mindedness for their needs and expertises. This is particularly true for C2C: It’s not about the ideology, it’s about exploring together what’s feasible and what is reasonable, over and over again.”

Jasna Moritz, architect and partner at kadawittfeldarchitektur is part of TECEConnects #4 on 02.06.22 on the topic of circular economy.

What benefits do digital tools offer besides process optimization? Is BIM improving the design and what impact do digital tools have on the result? Are there achievements in terms of material selection and C2C concepts that can be attributed to the use of BIM?

Kilian Kada will provide insights into the projects of kadawittfeldarchitektur in Hall 5 on May 31st from 14.05.pm

From May 16th to July 2nd, 2022, the exhibition “CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION – from waste to use” will take place.

As a positive example of Circular Construction, Moringa proves how it is done. In plans, photos, models and videos, CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION presents built examples of material system cycles that convince through their circular, resource-conserving approach, their creation from reused materials and at the same time through their high design quality.

More information and who else is involved here.

 

 

How cycle-friendly are we actually constructing in Germany already? What hurdles still stand in the way of C2C and how can they be overcome? At the premiere of the InterACT Insights live podcast, Dr. Patrick Bergmann from Madaster Germany and Jasna Moritz gave a deep insight into what is probably one of the most pressing topics in the industry.

You’ll hear about their experiences with ongoing projects, international role models, and how it’s easy to take the first steps toward C2C even in existing buildings.

Have fun listening in!

 

In this NAX online seminar, Jasna Moritz offers a deeper insight into added values, feasibility, recommendations and experiences with C2C-based design and construction.

Using our Hamburg Hafencity project “Moringa”, it will be explained what to look for in C2C in the planning process and what environmental, social and economic added value C2C actually offers.

As part of the “Declaration of Sustainability” initiative, we are pleased to join forces with architects who consider the transformation of architectural practice towards sustainability as a new normal.

The main focus is on our high-rise residential building Moringa, which is being built in accordance to the C2C principle, as well as the knowledge exchange and exchange of experiences within the framework of the initiative.
