Big ideas, grand plans and destruction – a journey through Germany, Albania, the United States, Singapore and the world’s crisis regions.
Proptechs – startups with a focus on the building and real estate industry – have the potential to transform building beyond BIM. Currently, the focus is on changing areas that can be quickly digitized due to mass processes – such as property management, facility management and apartment rental. But startups are also beginning to intervene in architects’ core competencies, such as the evaluation of architectural quality and design. An evening about radical ideas, big data and intelligent recycling.
This evening brings together some of the most interesting European proptechs: a spin-off of ETH Zurich assessing the quality of buildings, a software-as-a-service solution for the paperless construction site, a digital search engine for new building projects, a design science office using machine vision and big data to transform construction scrap into new designs, and an investor backing in proptechs. What is relevant? How is the building industry changing?
About radical ideas, big data and intelligent recycling with: Jürgen Fenk, SIGNA, Vienna; Patrick Christ, Capmo, Munich; Paul Indinger, Building Radar,Munich; Tobias Nolte, Certain Measures, Berlin; Matthias Standfest, Archilyse, Zurich
At their best, major projects provide a vision of how we want to develop as a society. How much are we willing to change? The planning and construction of ingenhoven architects’ largest project to date, Marina One in Singapore, took ten years. The city-state of Singapore is rapidly expanding its role as a global financial centre. Stuttgart 21 will eventually open in 202 – Ingenhoven won the architectural competition in 1997. In the future, how will our cities compete on a global level?
With guests from architecture, real estate, politics and culture – a journey through Germany, Albania to the USA, Singapore, and crisis regions across the globe: Jürgen Fenk, SIGNA, Vienna, Jan Grarup, war photographer, Copenhagen, Franz-Josef Höing, Chief Planning Director, Hamburg, Christoph Ingenhoven, ingenhoven architects, Dusseldorf, Regula Lüscher, Chief Planning Director, Berlin, Niklas Maak, architectur critic and author, Berlin, Winy Maas, MVRDV, Rotterdam, Elisabeth Merk, Urban Development Councilor, Munich, Tobias Nolte, Certain Measures, Berlin, Tobias Sauerbier, SIGNA, Vienna, Christiane Thalgott, Urban Development Councilor ret., Munich, Liam Young, London–Los Angeles
Speed dating for young architects and developers
In cooperation with the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
A central concern of Architecture Matters is stronger networking between the architecture and real estate industries. Our speed dating sessions bring ambitious, young architects into direct contact with interesting project developers. The benefits are mutual: we support young architects in setting up their offices, while fresh ideas find their way into implementation and shake up rote, traditional planning approaches. Move your business forward!
Moderation: Mariella Gerlich, Fiduciary Capital, Christian Meister, Hines, Christiane Thalgott, City Planning Commissioner of Munich (ret.), Mathieu Wellner
