Hortitecture

The Hortitecture 01 Symposium is the first of a series of public lectures, focusing on alternative sustainable building strategies that explore the synergies combining architecture and plant material.

Organised by the Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies of Prof. Almut Grüntuch-Ernst, it brought together international thinkers and practitioners from the field of architecture, art, ecology and climatology. Architectural solutions based on traditional and vernacular wisdom as well as recent explorations were discussed with the question on how to bring plants and nature to a new conceptual and spatial context.
