Society and its urban and architectural forms of expression are undergoing a change. Limited resources, global warming, high CO2 emissions and the changing laws due to all of these are causing a major rethink that will permanently alter our environment.
Scientific establishments and industry are called upon to change regions, cities, buildings and products responsibly and to embed them into an entirely new concept. Technologically necessary changes are provoking us to reconsider designs at every scale.

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, as a scientific partner of the event, sees a challenge in this, tying on with the tradition of Bauhaus. It demands multidisciplinary discussion among urban planners, landscape architects, building architects, civil engineers, technicians, developers, designers, users and architectural theoreticians from all different scientific and economic institutions.
