Our Head of PR Lewin Fricke visited the German Bundestag to discuss the advantages of building with calamity wood with members of parliament Niklas Wagener and Tessa Ganserer. Conversations covered sustainable forest conversion, timber value chains, and potential improvements to the Building Energy Act and the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act. Fittingly, both meetings took place inside the Bundestag’s own timber-built “Luisenblock West”.
Vonovia and the Fraunhofer Alliance hosted the kick-off conference “Perspectives on the Future of Building” in Berlin, bringing together representatives from politics, science and the construction industry, including our Head of PR Lewin Fricke. Keynote speeches addressed lifecycle thinking, grey emissions and the growing importance of health topics in construction. Four workshops explored circular economy, renewable resources, supply chains and building material production.
At the invitation of Umwelttechnik BW GmbH, our Head of PR Lewin Fricke joined a two-day design thinking workshop on resource-conserving building materials at the Impact Hub Stuttgart. Together with representatives from building materials manufacturers, municipalities and research institutions, participants mapped the entire construction process to identify where circular economy principles could succeed or fail. The workshop produced concrete solution concepts for making circular building materials work in real projects.
In September 2021, TRIQBRIQ took part in two Heuer Dialog GmbH events to present our innovation and our vision for climate-neutral construction. At the Quartier Annual Congress in Bielefeld, Head of PR & PA Lewin Fricke introduced our pilot project and the patented TRIQBRIQ timber construction system. A few days later, CEO Max Wörner joined a high-profile panel discussion on innovative building materials in Stuttgart.
Around 250 million tons of construction waste are generated in Germany each year, about 60% of the national waste volume. At a panel discussion, TRIQBRIQ CEO Max Wörner joined members of the Bundestag and industry experts to call for faster progress on circular construction. Together, the participants agreed: fundamental change in the construction sector cannot wait any longer.
The TRIQ pilot project in Stuttgart-Feuerbach combines resource-saving construction with future-oriented living concepts. The building relies entirely on 100% recyclable materials and our patented TRIQBRIQ timber construction system, avoiding cement and concrete altogether. Photovoltaics, hydrogen technology and a closed water cycle make it fully energy self-sufficient and climate-neutral.
