REMODELLING | BUILDING ON | REPAIRING

Future construction will focus on existing buildings. In this way, architects can make a significant contribution to the climate transition. A comprehensive knowledge of our material building heritage is a prerequisite for the building turnaround. The Institute of Architectural History imparts this fundamental knowledge.

The aim of our research is to preserve our architectural heritage as an identity-forming expression of European cultural history. In this context, knowledge of building technology is the prerequisite for promoting preservation and further construction in the sense of future climate-friendly resource management in the building industry.
