Daily Report - Tuesday
The 2nd day started with an input lecture by Daylight, Energy and Indoor Climate expert Per Arnold Andersen from our partner VELUX about the importance of the use of natural daylight for the building comfort and the energy use. In the afternoon session we showed the documentation “In Comparison” by Harun Faroki about bricks - producing and using them in different parts of the world. Our topic for the evening Open Forum lectures was Public Urban Spaces & Accessibility. The three lecturers by Christiano Lepratti about Slow Space, by Prof. Guendalina Salimei about Sensitive limits. Vertical labyrinths and Jan Gehl about People City=Sustainable City focused on the qualities of public spaces and his relevance for a lively and attractive city. For the development of sustainable cities it is not enough to anly build energy-efficient buildings. The approvement of the public spaces for pedestrians and bicycles, a good public transport system as well as the density and accessability of the city are the main key-factors.
