Regional innovations in IBA’27-projects
In order to achieve the European roadmap of climate neutrality by 2050, the construction sector must also reduce its emissions to zero over the next two decades. Far-reaching and rapid measures are urgently needed - especially in new construction and building renovations. On the one hand, the production of climate-damaging building materials such as concrete must be reduced and replaced with recycled building materials or renewable, ecological materials. On the other hand, it is important to support "circular construction" and to reuse or recycle building materials that have already been used.
The IBA'27 GmbH and the Verband Region Stuttgart are therefore looking for forward-looking, transferable prototypes, concepts and typologies with the co-financing program that rethink "building" and in at least one of the following fields of action
- Use of new building technologies and materials (e.g. recycling of building materials, use of renewable raw materials as building materials, etc.) or
- Circular economy, i.e. the reuse and recovery of building materials
implement. We are looking for bold plans, products and processes for buildings that can adapt to future neighborhood developments and people's needs, as well as for products that provide sustainable, economic and innovative impetus in buildings.

The project, which cost 60,452 euros, is supported by the Verband Region Stuttgart with 30,226 euros.
Transformation of the Klett-Areal - Stuttgart
The "Transformation of the Klett Areal" project is a model project for the sustainable and future-proof transformation of the inner-city Klett Areal site. Klett-Haus Stuttgart Gründungsgesellschaft mbH is receiving 240,421 euros in funding. The project aims to test the reuse of used building materials in the form of re-use bricks and the use of hemp limestone bricks and to establish this CO2-saving construction method for perimeter block development and existing buildings. The focus is on the implementation of three four-storey extensions and a new three-storey building made of used solid bricks. The project combines economic, ecological and social aspects. The traditional cityscape of the "backyard brick architecture" of Stuttgart's west is preserved through the combination of traditional materials and new construction techniques.
Living together in the flower garden - Backnang
