BAU ONLINE will take place from 13 to 15 January 2021. As part of the multifaceted conference programme, Magnus Nickl will give an online lecture entitled “Rethinking Architecture for Health” at the Forum Future of Building on 13 January 2021. The forum is organised in cooperation with Bauwelt, DBZ and Bundesbaublatt.

If the coronavirus pandemic has shown us one thing, it is that public healthcare has a much more far-reaching impact on our daily lives than previously thought. Against this background, we as architects have to rethink the dimension of building for the healthcare sector. Thinking in the medical categories of prevention and intervention, we have to find answers to the following two questions: How can urban planning and architecture contribute preventively to the maintenance of health? And how can architecture ensure rapid, flexible and efficient intervention in times of crisis?

You are welcome to preregister free of charge for this lecture.
