Excursion: Science Camp »Green2Smart 2024«

As part of the Science Camp Green2Smart, participants visited the WIR Quartier in Erfurt, an example of the implementation of exterior green facades, which watering (among other parameters) can be controlled via smart phone apps.

For the Fifth day of the Science Camp participants visited the WIR-Quartier in Erfurt(get a look through Google Maps here or to Google Street View in this link). The construction is residential villa with two 6-storey towers and a height up to 60 meters. Vertical greenery adorns the exterior, which the participants were able to explore as well as the maintenance rooms.

Architects from PSL (Planungsgruppe Stadt + Landschaft PartGmbB) as well as from Hillig-Architekten (Thomas Hillig Architekten GmbH) provided insights to the construction phases, plant selection and design considerations.

The Science Camp is made possible through the support of the Allianz Thüringer Ingenieurwissenschaften.
