Focus on future-oriented construction within existing buildings

From 23 to 25 March, the BauZ! Vienna Congress for future-oriented construction took place in Vienna. Under the motto “Shaping the existing stock! Everything is already there.” this year’s congress was dedicated to sustainable construction methods and the further development of existing buildings.

The event once again brought together numerous experts from architecture, research and the construction industry in its 23rd edition. The focus was on innovative approaches to transforming existing buildings in a resource-efficient way and rethinking them for the future.

The future begins with existing buildings

On the first two days, current research, architectural and development projects were presented. The programme was complemented by in-depth workshops. Rieder was also represented on site: Mirna Bukovcan presented the Rieder Campus as a successful example of circular construction, demonstrating how innovative material and building concepts can contribute to the transformation of existing building stock.

On the third day, an architectural tour took place, visiting selected best-practice examples and Vienna-based renovation projects. A successful event that consistently rethinks construction within the existing building stock and highlights forward-looking solutions for a more sustainable built environment.
