Description

The exhibition Ecology.Design.Synergy is the result of a collaboration between the ifa (Institute for foreign culture relations), and the AEDES Architecture Forum. The overarching vision of the exhibition was to detach the term "sustainability" from its common quantitative representation by highlighting the aspects of sustainability which can be experienced as qualities in themselves. Pulling lessons from projects, the exhibition represents efforts of Behnisch Architekten and Transsolar in assessing the qualitative aspects of sustainability which emerge through a sustainability focused integrated design process.

The world-renowned architect Stefan Behnisch will be present as the key note speaker at the exhibition’s opening on March 6, 2015 at 6 p.m. in Nicosia, Cyprus.

Monday - Friday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
