“Enkelfähig” is the order of the day. Hans-Jörg Fankhauser, host of the Swissbau Community Event at uptownBasel, emphasized: “It’s not about what we do today, but what we can achieve tomorrow.” The term “enkelfähig” stands for his responsible site development, in which digital technologies and sustainable strategies are used to enable long-term change and create an environment worth living in for future generations. When it comes to collaboration, he relies on “new work” with strong partners.
Quantum technology & AI: a new chapter in innovation
AI has already changed reality. Hans-Jörg Fankhauser (uptownBasel) emphasized the disruptive opportunities offered by artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The technologies open up almost limitless possibilities for innovations in architecture, energy planning and building technology.
Re-use of building materials: trust as a success factor
Kevin Rahner (Schnetzer Puskas Ingenieure AG) shed light on the challenges of reusing building materials. The central question: “On-site” or recycling? Without clear standardization, reuse will not prevail. Genuine innovation requires trust and structured processes.
Intelligent energy supply for sustainable buildings
Sascha Wyss (Primeo Netz AG) explained that a stable transmission grid only works if production and consumption are in balance. Modern buildings require intelligent networking, redundancy and flexibility in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply.
Experience practice & networking
After the presentations, participants were able to experience the uptownBasel building Pioneer and the uptownBasel substation live. A subsequent networking aperitif provided the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from the sector.
