The event will take place as part of the two-day congress “Bauen mit Bestand: Konstruktion”. Professors and students from over 55 architecture faculties of German academies and universities of applied sciences will exchange ideas.

The BmB Archive: Construction is a collection of 3,000 structural drawings with 16,600 selected pages from historical books published between 1870 and 1965. There will be 3 questions on building construction discussed at the congress:

1. what are the competences of “building construction”?

2. what does the integration in lectures look like?

3. what needs to go out and what needs to go in?
