The HORTITECTURE 03 Symposium is the third of a series of public lectures, focusing on alternative strategies that explore the synergies combining architecture and plant material.

At the HORTITECTURE Symposia an international group of interdisciplinary experts present and discuss their ideas and experiences in the field. We compare and analyse architectural solutions that are made with, made for and made from plant material, asking for example:

How are plants integrated within the building system?What kinds of benefits can a new kind of nature-artifact combination offer?How do the plantings affect the overall environment and architectural design?What is the maintenance and resilience factor and how scalable are these new solutions?

HORTITECTURE is a growing focal subject that intends to network core disciplines in order to foster more sustainable environments. At the TU Braunschweig architects, landscape architects and environmental scientists constitute research cooperations. In studying the intersections between architectural, horticultural and technological practices, our goal is to transfer knowledge beyond building design to a larger urban scope, creating better, more sustainable future cities.

The interdisciplinary, international symposium will present a variety of innovative horticultural and architectural projects, bringing key players together to discuss the newest discoveries and innovations in the field.
