Phase Sustainability

The aim of the initiative is to transform current planning culture and Baukultur to make sustainable building the new normal.

Every building can and should actively contribute to the positive design and sustainable construction of the environment we build around ourselves. A crucial part of this is holistic planning, allowing relevant objectives to be discussed and determined early in the process. This shared understanding is a fundamental prerequisite for implementing sustainable projects.

By becoming involved in this initiative, architects and planners have a new way to demonstrate solidarity. Not only can this promote a greater understanding of how to bring about change and contribute to environmental protection by working together, it also underscores how we must and want to actively achieve this in every project we implement.
