Construction without side effects.

Research

Our task is clear: construction must become climate-neutral and resource-efficient by 2045. However, there is currently a lack of both research and rapid implementation of new ideas.

“We need a paradigm shift in construction. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, now.”

Our mission

The mission of the LAB Lausitz Art of Building is to implement the largest paradigm shift in the construction industry to date: to transform all construction and the use of the built environment into a climate- and resource-neutral, durable, variable, aesthetic and value-creating construction method.

The idea

LAB is one of six projects that were selected from almost 100 ideas after a tough competition by a perspective commission on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free State of Saxony.

In the heart of Lusatia

We consume and overuse the resources of our earth and change them massively.

Condition today

Future work in construction must focus on the needs of people and society in the built environment.

Looking forward

The buildings of the future will not be designed and built using the materials or methods we know today.

There is an urgent need for action

A significant intensification of research in the construction sector

is therefore one of the most important tasks with extremely great importance for society as a whole for the future, both nationally and internationally, due to the enormous leverage effect.

Engineering

And that doesn’t just mean in terms of design, but above all constructively. So it’s not just about architecture, but about engineering. The previous proof of structural safety, serviceability and durability must be supplemented by proof of climate compatibility.
