High-Tech Heritage: (Im)Permanence of Innovative Architecture [German]

High-tech Architecture - Preserving the Heritage of Innovative Construction

The
high-tech architecture of the 1970s-1990s is typically characterized by
the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of
appearance, these buildings often have innovative fa ades, supporting
structures accentuated in color, and expressively displayed technology
systems. Unfortunately, however, the rapid obsolescence of technology
has often led to the complete replacement of the very systems that
defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international conference at
ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universit t Weimar explored the
question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of
technologically innovative architecture. This book summarizes the
results and provides an overview of the current state of research.
