The first research lab will take place in spring 2023 at the HDA and is open to visitors. Accompanying the research lab, an extensive lecture program by experts will take place at the HDA (in English).
HDA RESEARCH LABORATORY: New strategies and building methods in times of climate change
ProgrammeClimate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As part of the European funding programme LINA, HDA is organizing a three-year research project with young architectural practises from Europe.
The theme of the international project is the numerous severe weather events that are occurring. The intensity of heat waves, storms and floods is statistically increasing and it is expected that the frequency of severe weather will continue to increase in the future.
This is where the HDA research laboratory comes in. In order to be able to react actively to the extreme weather conditions in terms of construction, new, sustainable building typologies are to be developed that can withstand heavy rain and flooding as well as overheating.
Cooperation partners: TU Graz | University of Stuttgart
The European LINA network publishes an annual Open Call for young architects and creative professionals. From over 200 applicants, the HDA has selected four young architectural practises to conduct research together at the HDA.
On two dates, the interim presentation or final presentation of the projects from the HDA research lab will take place with invited guests and experts. The presentations are public and in English.
