MATERIAL EXCHANGE
The Material Exchange is a platform for research, exchange, and dissemination on cutting edge technologies and methods of material practice, dedicated to the questions of our lived environment. The platform will be anchored by a series of annual symposia that bring together the best minds on an evolving material topic, bridging across disciplines and between academia, practice, and industry. Conversations will be built on the intersections of the science, engineering, and design considerations facing the material in question.
First Edition: STEEL – 06. - 07. JUNI 2024
Symposium on the future of steel in building constructions
There is perhaps no other single material that represents an entire era of Modernism and modern construction as steel. A material of superlatives with other-worldly strength "Man of Steel" that was able to accomplish what other materials could not, steel is to twentieth century architecture and engineering what the invention of concrete was to the Ancient Roman times. It allowed us to span distances with far smaller dimensions, with far more precision and intricacy, than was possible with the available material systems at the time like wood, masonry, and concrete. Steel’s durability, ductility, and workability into many forms, from cables and rebars to profiles and sheets, allowed it to be integrated into all stages of construction. It also became integrated as a means of extending the performance of other materials: for example, the reinforcement of steel or the stiffening of timber joints.
