Dresdner Erklärung: Die Bauwende beginnt im Studium

Mit seinem enormen Ressourcen- und Energieverbrauch, Emissionen und Abfall gehört der Bausektor im Kontext der Klimakrise zu den problematischsten Branchen. Gleichzeitig schlummern hier auch die größten Potenziale für ein neues, klimagerechtes Bauen. Um diese nutzen zu können, muss der Wandel schon im Studium beginnen.

Fakultät Bau und Umwelt begeht »Semester-Opening«

Am 10. April läutete die »Fakultät Bau- und Umweltingenieurwissenschaften« (kurz: Bau und Umwelt) das Sommersemester 2024 im Audimax der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar ein. Gemeinsam mit hunderten Gästen zelebrierten Forschende, Lehrende und Studierende das 70. Jubiläum sowie die Neuausrichtung der Fakultät in einem bunten, geselligen Rahmen.

The theme for the anniversary year is »Plan B«.

Focus on Sustainability: Weimar Engineers Fall Back on »Plan B«

The Faculty of Civil Engineering was established 70 years ago at the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (HAB), which is now known as the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Since then, the requirements of the construction industry have changed considerably. To address challenges such as the energy and climate crisis, the digital revolution, and the shortage of skilled labour in the engineering sector, the faculty will undergo a strategic realignment under a new name starting in April 2024. In the future, there will be a growing emphasis on sustainable and resource-efficient construction in research and education.
