About this event

Teulo Talks: Reconstruction :

CPD Points:

ADNZ: Design - 1, Construction - 1

NZRAB: 10 Design, 10 Project Management

Australian: 2 Formal Points

What if, at the core of every project, we considered the relationship between location and geography, cultural contingencies, and our next innovative move at the very beginning? Creating architecture from architecture, taking advantage of the life a space has already lived brings a new energy, perspective and material element to any undertaking - and more architects are turning to this approach to preserve historical significance as well as the planet. By adapting, reusing and rebuilding, we minimise carbon emissions, reduce material wastage and preserve history by engineering a platform for buildings to tell their story amongst what is often radical urban change .


9am - 10am

Philipp Buxbaum

SmartVoll Architects

BIO:

Philipp Buxbaum co-founded smartvoll architects along with Christian Kircher in 2013. He is trained as an architect from the Technical University in Vienna, Austria. Since starting working together on the very next day after their graduation, Philipp, Christian and their partners have explored the architectural world with an unbiased and fresh view, fundamentally untouched by established architectural routines. Coming from one of the smallest and most sprawling countries in Europe, the responsible use of ground soil and the intelligent reanimation of existing buildings have become ever-growing interests for smartvoll in the last couple of years.

Talk topic:

Philipp will present two small and two large scale projects on the topic of build in the existing. You will see the challenges smartvoll had while designing and building them and their research on the topic of adaptive reuse. Spoiler alert: One of the projects saved 0,5% of the annual waste of Austria, just because a decision was made not to demolish the existing structure. Adaptive reuse projects in Salzburg / Austria – these are XXL. He will also discuss an XS project in the same thematic circle. At the end of the presentation he might give a sneak peek at what they are currently working on.

10am - 11am

Stephan Albrecht

sma

BIO:

Stephan Markus Albrecht is the Director of his new studio sma and his studio investigates into timber technology. Stephan also teaches digital workflows at University of Biberach and University of Kärnten.

Talk topic: The future is now! Embrace transformation, shape the change

Whilst digitization is finding its way into almost all areas of life, including the construction industry, our world is facing tremendous challenges: Economic, social and environmental. Buildings cause almost 40% of annual global CO2 emissions. The construction industry has to change!

Disruptive technologies are displacing traditional business models: Digital innovations are becoming increasingly important. Open source platforms enable processes to be designed right from the start in order to create resilient spatial structures with individualized, highly customized tools. The digital opens up new scope for the creative towards a sustainable circular future.

Timber is understood to be the construction material of the 21st century, replacing steel and concrete. Timber is a more sustainable material, while at the same time new technologies such as CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) make it also highly efficient and easy to automate. Timber housing developments are becoming more and more present. But can we also think about timber construction for more complex building types?
