    Hello Everyone:

    I would like to draw your attention to a public online course at ETH Zurich. The event language will be English.

    Scaling up bio-based construction!
    I have the pleasure of giving a 30-minute presentation on the development of straw-based construction in Germany, including latest large multi-storey projects.

    After further inputs from Bjorn Kierulf, Andrea Akchoti, Guillaume Habert, there will be a discussion on the future perspectives of bio-based construction.

    The discussion will be moderated by: Arnaud Evrard (ETH Zurich) and Fabian Hoermann (The Real Deal).

    This event is co-organised by ETH Zurich / Chair of Sustainable Construction and by 
    The Real Deal - Post-Fossil Construction for Game Changers in the framework of the 
    CAS ETH in Regenerative Materials - Essentials.

    You can join online via zoom.
