The German Parliament (Bundestag) has unlocked the funding in support of the Living Art of Building initiative. This large-scale research center will aim to revolutionize the construction sector at national, European and international level. 

For ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-FLORES, the Living Art of Building initiative represents a significant opportunity aligned with two core pillars of the recently launched ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Strategic Plan. Professor Edeltraud Guenther, Director of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-FLORES, has been appointed as a principal investigator to spearhead efforts focused on sustainability and internationalization at the Federal Research Centre for Climate-Neutral and Resource Efficient Construction that will be established with the Living Art of Building initiative. This is specifically aligned with the Knowledge pillar of the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ new strategic plan. Moreover, a strong internationalisation effect is expected, especially in the Global South, which will contribute thematically in the research and development work and implement its results.

We are excited to collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders to drive innovation and develop sustainable building solutions. This initiative marks a significant step towards advancing sustainability in construction practices.
Professor Edel Guenther
