Prof. Corentin Fivet (Structural Xploration Lab) will give a keynote lecture at the upcoming REM Millenium event, this Thursday Sept. 1st, 2022. REM Millenium is the premium event for all stakeholders of Swiss Real Estate. C. Fivet will address the issue of resources in today's highly-questionable economic context. The lecture will be followed by a round table with Claire Gabarrou (Romande Energie), Régis Cornaz (Steiner), and Frédéric Dreyer (Fustic).
Our management of resources - be they energy, material or human - is today deeply questioned. The building sector is particularly pointed out and must face many environmental, economic and social challenges. How to decorrelate demographic densification and extraction of raw materials? How to decorrelate greenhouse gas emissions and increase the quality of life? How can we decorrelate building obsolescence and waste production? How to decorrelate economic stability and renewal of the real estate stock? The answers must be immediate, systemic and effective. Will they be?
