165 projects from 54 universities took part in this year’s competitionline CAMPUS Award<\/a>. The spectrum of topics ranged from utopias for urban development and material studies to adaptive architecture and after-use strategies. The proportion of projects dealing with sustainable design tasks such as the conversion of existing buildings, climate adaptation in cities or research into alternative materials was particularly high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to two student award-winning projects, which went to the TU Munich and Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover, and two award-winning final theses from the Kunstakademie D\u00fcsseldorf and the University of Stuttgart, one faculty project also received an award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From nine projects submitted, the jury selected the work “NEWood, a 100% bio-based, sustainable and recyclable material alternative to wood-based products”<\/a> as the winner. The research by the Institute of Design and Construction Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology resulted in the “development of a new class of bio-based, resource-efficient and CO2-negative materials.” As an alternative to particleboard, MDF and OSB, the boards are made exclusively from wood and agricultural waste. Mushroom mycelium is used as a natural binder, so no synthetic binders are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
