On May 25th, Prof. Achim Menges will give a lecture titled "Architektur anders denken: Biobasiertes und bioinspiriertes Bauen" at the Heidelberg Academy of Science.
Prof. Achim Menges, who was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize by the DFG in 2023 for his scientific work, will discuss in his lecture how a bionic approach in architecture enables scientific and interdisciplinary lateral thinking. He will also demonstrate, with selected projects, how an architecture can emerge that is simultaneously effective and explorative, efficient and expressive.
Further program items: Welcome address by Hans J. Reiter, Ministerial Director and Head of Office at the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg, Report by the Academy President, Hans-Georg Kräusslich, on the academic year, Insights into the Junge Akademie | HAdW by a representative of the Academy College, as well as the awarding of the donated prizes.
