How can small and medium-sized towns in rural regions in Baden-Württemberg be designed in a way that makes sense and appeals to many different target groups in the future? What should our living space of tomorrow look like? What are suitable solution concepts and planning methods?
The participants of ARCHIKON 2021 will deal with these and other questions relating to the topic of “Rethinking our country”. The State Congress for Architecture and Urban Development will take place on 25 February 2021 in parallel to the R+T digital and for the first time as an online congress. As a comprehensive, inspiring networking, further education and discussion platform, the event offers representatives from (landscape) architecture, urban planning, politics and business the opportunity to exchange individual points of view, listen to exciting presentations, develop visions and, with a view to the upcoming state elections, jointly develop solution concepts for the urban planning future of the “Innovation State of Baden-Württemberg”.
Current studies show: Baden-Württemberg will remain a growth region in the future. Municipalities that offer good jobs and infrastructure are experiencing steady growth, regardless of their size. The more scenic regions of our country will also remain attractive for many people – under fundamentally changed framework conditions: What are liveable, stable living environments in an ageing, individualised society? How can local supply function in the long term? Which municipal facilities will be important in the future?
“Demographic change, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digitalisation – there is a shake-up in the worlds of life and work all over the world. The current pandemic is accelerating key transformation processes. Baden-Württemberg will have to change fundamentally – a challenging design task that needs to be solved,” says Markus Müller, President of the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects.
The ARCHIKON 2021 is organised by the Institute for Further Education in the Building Trade of the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects in cooperation with the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre. The programme of the conference can be downloaded from www.archikon-akbw.de.
