Dresden Declaration: The turnaround in construction begins at university

With its enormous consumption of resources and energy, emissions and waste, the construction sector is one of the most problematic industries in the context of the climate crisis. At the same time, this is also where the greatest potential for new, climate-friendly construction lies dormant. In order to exploit this potential, the change must begin at university level.

At its conference at TU Dresden on April 26, 2024, the Deans' and Department Heads' Conference for Architecture, Spatial Planning and Landscape Architecture in the Federal Republic of Germany (DARL) adopted a Dresden Declaration. In it, the academics support Architects 4 Future's call to adapt the curricula of the degree programs in the sense of a building turnaround.
