In line with the broad spectrum of concrete construction, we have taken up various topical and future-oriented topics on the responsible use of concrete. These range from innovative practical examples and projects to the results of current research and the transfer of research findings into practice. In order to stimulate creativity in the use of the building material concrete, we would like to recommend our new series of project presentations to you this year. With these, we span the range from civil engineering to structural engineering to high-rise construction and show how climate compatibility is increasingly becoming an integral part of planning, design and construction execution. This is also supported by efforts to consider climate compatibility in tenders, technical regulations and standardization as a design aspect.
