The balance between green spaces and built-up areas has not only been negotiated again since the climate crisis and the rekindled discussion about more "green in the city" during the Corona pandemic. Green spaces make an active contribution to climate protection, because their cooling effect in summer prevents squares, streets and buildings from heating up. In addition, greenery has been proven to improve the microclimate, reduce noise pollution and help filter fine dust from the air. According to scientific studies, green spaces also have a positive effect on the human psyche.
The HDA provides a discussion series accompanying the exhibition to discuss the relationship between "green and architecture" with national and international guests from their respective different experiences and perspectives.
In the first panel, Sanne van Manen, MVRDV / Rotterdam, and Lisa Maria Enzenhofer, Breath Earth Collective / Graz, will present examples of the greening and use of roofs, public streets and squares.
