Description
Lecture as part of the autumn series 'Alles Beton?'. Tobias Huber from ZPF Ingenieure speaks under the title 'heilsbringerbetonteufelszeug' about his work as a civil engineer. Concrete has shaped the civil engineering profession as well as the entire construction industry for decades – technically, artistically, and culturally. As a building material, it is cost-effective, extremely easy to use, and therefore almost irreplaceable in many areas. At the same time, hardly any building material is so much in the focus of criticism today: its energy-intensive production and high CO₂ emissions demand a fundamental rethink. This change is used as an occasion to discuss current positions, questions, and perspectives of civil engineering and high-rise construction. Civil engineers from practice and research provide insight into their daily work through concrete projects and questions. The focus is on new approaches to dealing with load-bearing structures, alternative materials, hybrid construction methods, as well as changed thinking and working processes. The autumn series explores what opportunities arise from this for a sustainable, resource-conserving, and economical building culture.
