New competition focuses on sustainable concrete<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

To speed up the process of finding new sustainable and innovative ways of building in concrete, KADK, Aarhus School of Architecture and the trade association Dansk Beton focus on sustainable concrete.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Today’s students of architecture will be shaping tomorrow\u2019s building sector. Their contributions to finding new sustainable uses of concrete is crucial for changing current practices and reducing CO2 emissions in the building sector. We need to develop innovative sustainable uses of concrete, ranging from new ways of designing, producing, processing, transforming and using concrete, to rethinking how concrete can be broken down and reused.<\/p>\n

Are you a student of architecture? Do you have an idea for how we can build more sustainably using concrete? This is your opportunity to present and exhibit your idea at Building Green, in Copenhagen, on 31 October. With this prize and the consequent debate, Dansk Beton, Aarhus School of Architecture and the Institute of Architecture and Technology at KADK wish to focus on and reward projects that present new and innovative sustainable uses of concrete.<\/p>\n

We need new and innovative ways of using concrete<\/h5>\n

– It is no secret that concrete can have a negative impact on the climate. We therefore have to find new and innovative sustainable uses of concrete. For one thing to meet the goal of the concrete and construction industry: to reduce CO2 emissions from concrete by half by 2030, says Dorthe Mathiesen, industry sector executive at Dansk Beton, part of The Danish Construction Association.
\nMaster students at KADK already work with sustainable construction – e.g. when they work with UN’s world goals.
\n– We are calling for an innovative use of concrete that, for instance, demonstrates how you can minimise material consumption, optimise material properties, reduce transport and material consumption for formwork, re-use and future-proof the value of concrete elements, strengthen sustainable operation and maintenance, or utilise circular design principles, says Natalie Mossin, head of the Institute of Architecture and Technology at KADK (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture).
\n– At Aarhus School of Architecture we work intensively with how materials can be processed, used and experienced in built form. Although concrete is used extensively in modern construction, it mostly has a structural role and is often concealed under more precious materials. We are looking for a project that, besides having sustainable qualities, also releases the aesthetic potential of concrete, says Jon Kr\u00e4hling Engholt, PhD fellow at Aarhus School of Architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
