Lecture topic
Under the title “Building faster, learning better – Modular school buildings between interim solution and future strategy”, Gesine Appel demonstrates how modular school buildings in timber construction can make an important contribution to meeting the rising demand for school space. Drawing on realized projects, she explains how short construction times, sustainable building methods, and high planability support both short-term space requirements and long-term strategies in municipal school construction. In doing so, she provides insights into planning practice and presents concrete recommendations for action for municipalities.
