Experimental building // FUSION retrospectives with Gernot Minke and Claus Anderhalten

Experimental Building - Gernot Minke - 1974-2011
Interview partner: Claus Anderhalten, Department of Design in Existing Contexts I FB06

Gernot Minke founded the Research Laboratory for Experimental Building in Kassel. His work in the field of green roofs and vault constructions made of clay bricks and straw bales was groundbreaking. Against the backdrop of a comprehensive retrospective of his work and the many other approaches to ecological building methods that have emerged in the meantime, he discusses the prospects for sustainable architecture with Claus Anderhalten.

FUSION Retrospectives

The Reform University Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Time to take stock and look ahead in architecture, urban and landscape planning as part of the FUSION lecture series.

The FUSION "Retrospectives" in the winter semester 2021/22 will focus on where we come from and what lasting accents our department has set. Pioneers who were central to the development of the department's profile will present positions and contributions in a review of their work at the university and beyond. In conversation with guests and colleagues, they reflect on the significance of architecture, urban and landscape planning at a reform university and in a rapidly changing society.
