Heritage Day
Under the motto “Wahr-Zeichen. Zeitzeugen der Geschichte”, the Heritage Day is being celebrated nationwide this year, coordinated by the German Foundation for Monument Protection.

Rome, Stuttgart, Rügen, Riga: the saisonaler salon by architect Susanne Brorson will stop off at these locations on its journey. The saisonaler salon is a pavilion that focuses on experimental and circular building with renewable raw materials. The architect clads the modular wooden structure ever more densely with grasses and materials that she collects on site. In hot Rome, grasses from the Villa Massimo garden are used as sun protection on the roof. In Stuttgart, the open side surfaces are given a weatherproof façade cladding with material that Brorson harvests in the region and on the exhibition site. On the island of Rügen, it will be set afloat and then connect two architecture faculties in Riga as part of the Floating Campus.

Before the saisonale salon travels on, we want to say good-bye at a Finissage.

In the pavilion, Susanne Brorson discusses renewable building materials with Monika Göbel (IntCDC Stuttgart) and Andreas Hofer (Intendant IBA’27). Based on their work and projects, the panellists will demonstrate the use of wood, straw and other materials in various buildings. We will then discuss: Where do we stand today? What are the challenges of using this kind of materials in everyday life today and what visions does the future hold? How will craftsmanship and computer technology work together in the future and how can we bring to light the experience of previous generations and the role models in nature?
