Manfred Berthold:
"Unsealed Architecture: to "Climate-Friendly" cities";
Poster: Notes From The Field, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design - Izmir University of Economics (eingeladen); 23.12.2021.

We hosted our second guest, Professor Manfred BERTHOLD from Vienna Technical University, in the first of three thematic seminar series organized by the Department of Architecture, "Notes from the Field". Berthold presented some of his projects related to "Climate-Friendly" cities.

Manfred Berthold:

The architect Manfred Berthold - since 2009 professor at the Institute for Architecture and Design at the Vienna University of Technology - has supervised more than 500 master's and diploma theses in the past 10 years. The question always arises as to the quality of the achievements of architecture graduates in a non-university comparison - a cross-university quality assessment could be the Europe-wide "Campus Masters" competition organized by Baunetz. Manfred Berthold is the author of the book Architecture Costs Space (2010, Springer-Verlag). In 2017 and 2011, he received the Best Teacher Award from the Vienna University of Technology as the best university teacher in Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning. To Berthold, architecture seals our landscape. In densely populated areas of industrialized countries, surface sealing represents one of the most pressing basic ecological problems. In terms of climate protection, built-up soil can no longer serve as water permeability and soil fertility and as a carbon dioxide store. With urban and traffic planning that is gentle on the soil, the climate of tomorrow is being shaped today.
