The craftsmen and building experts of the Modernisierungsoffensive Mittelfranken and the initiative "EnergiePlusHaus" have produced this VideoClip about the topic EnergiePlusHaus.
Construction is like an orchestra: everyone is responsible for their instrument, for their tool. Only the perfect interplay creates a strong melody or a future-oriented building. The message of the song: "I've got cool modules and a wall of glass, I tap into the sun, I never need gas again.

The current developments through the 2016 US elections reminded me of a serious but overall visionary lecture by Ernest Callenbach in Freiburg in 2005, which is still available on YouTube. His talk is more relevant than ever. 11 years later, one can say he was right on many points... But he does not lose sight of a positive, desirable, more sustainable world.
Back in 2005, Ernest Callenbach described how America has passed the peak of its world power, what forces have weakened it, and what would be needed to build a more sustainable world.
On Youtube his novel "Ökotopia" is available as an audio book (9 parts):

On the one hand, more and more old office buildings and office parks are losing their function. On the other hand, there is a great demand for living space in cities and agglomerations. This publication shows the opportunities, but also the difficulties, associated with the conversion of this particular building typology.
The conversion of office properties certainly represents only a very small and special segment of our urban development. But it deserves more attention, both in terms of the history behind this inconspicuous building task and in terms of the future potential that we are far from having exhausted. The conversion of this particular building stock is a serious alternative to demolition and new construction.
Seven practical examples show how diverse and varied office building conversion projects are. From historic individual properties to modern office districts, the framework conditions are often very different. However, it is precisely by dealing with the existing buildings that they can develop new qualities for their surroundings (Lyoner Viertel, Frankfurt; Büropark Seestern, Düsseldorf; O-Werk, Bochum; Goltsteinforum, Cologne; Beginenhof, Essen; Gerling Hochhaus, Cologne; Hochhaus an der Baierbrunner Straße, Munich).
The study commissioned by StadtBauKultur NRW was prepared in cooperation with the ILS - Institute for Regional and Urban Development Research.
