Reading: Excerpt from “Franziska Linkerhand” by Brigitte Reimann
Juliane Aleithe
The book centres on the architect Franziska Linkerhand. She reflects on her life, her background, her education, her first marriage, and her professional development from research assistant to architect on the “Old Town Regeneration” project in Neustadt.
Discussion: What prevents the large-scale use of prefabricated concrete elements?
Angelika Mettke, Walter Prigge, Hans Götze, Christoph Henschel
Moderator: Juliane Aleithe
In total, the large-scale use of large-format concrete elements can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 95 to 97 per cent. Construction projects could thus be completed in a relatively short time. Nevertheless, there are only a few pilot projects that make use of this.
