Carbon Negative: Berlin Architecture Event

This event explores carbon negative architecture, a design approach where buildings remove more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit. Attendees can learn about regenerative design, on-site carbon sequestration, and innovative materials like hempcrete that turn buildings into carbon sinks.

The construction industry is a major carbon emitter—concrete alone accounts for 5% of global annual CO₂ emissions. Carbon negative buildings counter this by producing renewable energy, avoiding fossil fuels, and using bio-based materials. Examples like the Unisphere in Maryland and the Tecla 3D-printed house showcase real-world applications.

Visitors will gain insight into how proper ventilation, insulation, and breathability improve energy efficiency. The event highlights the significance of moving beyond net-zero to truly regenerative practices, offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable construction.
