The conference will be addressing the issue of providing solutions for the impending energy problems facing us and at the same time improving the quality of life in our cities by radically rethinking the way we configure the physical and virtual infrastructure of society.
The lecture of Kas Oosterhuis will be held at the TU Graz at the 10th of June and will commence at 09.15 hr
ENERGYCITY CONFERENCE
Presentation of the results of an interdisciplinary research project led by the institute for buildings and energy at Graz University of Technology, which examines ways of restructuring and reconfiguring the physical infrastructure of cities to radically increase their energy performance, with particular emphasis on more effective use of building space and the use of synergies between physical and virtual infrastructure, living and working space, teleworking ect.; in short, startegies for spatial, temporal and digital densification. In the course of the project, new typologies for vertical structures incorporating all the necessary infrastructural and agricultural usages, food production, ect., were developed. Building integrated energy production is one of the focal points thereby. The aim is to provide solutions for the impending energy issues AND at the same time radically improve the quality of life in our cities.
