Expert discussion: Building differently – how can clay move from being a niche material to being used on a larger scale?

A key step forward for structural clay construction was, amongst other things, the introduction of DIN 18940 for load-bearing clay brickwork. But how can we now make the transition from successful individual projects to widespread construction practice?

These and other questions will be discussed at the Transformation Dialogue on 14 October with four representatives from the housing sector, planning, research and production.

Welcome address: Dr Elena Wiezorek, Director of the Federal Foundation Bauakademie
