Adaptive building is the research focus of the CRC1244 at the University of Stuttgart. The aim is to find solutions to the challenge of creating emission-free buildings for more people with significantly less material in the future. Research findings show that adaptivity can open up new perspectives - for a sustainable transformation of the industry. A best-practice example: the world's first adaptive high-rise building, the D1244 demonstrator high-rise. 

The symposium offers exciting insights into research on adaptivity and presentations by speakers on the future of the construction industry.

Keynote Speakers
